Here are 5 common myths, debunked]
So, why learn computer science by yourself?
Thats a simple but important question: why would we do that in the first place?
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
It should at least provide me some sense of understanding.
Its free and you’re free to find the bestepub and PDF versions here.

What Ive learned from SICP so far
What can I use in real life?
The whole discussion about recursion in the book helped me quite significantly to easily write them.
Its a topic Ive always struggled a bit with.
Now its a breeze to go through any problem I want to solve with recursion.
What difficulties did I encounter?
This book is not for math haters.
It was written for MIT students who have already quite some mathematical knowledge.
Without this prior knowledge, the exercises can be pretty difficult and frustrating at time.
It was the cause of another problem: I spent too much time on the exercises.
I could solve most of them but it took me hours in some cases.
Therefore, I decided to move on and to begin to studying theMathematicssubject.
I converted it toPDF herefor those who dont know what a ps document is.
I didnt know either.
Its a pretty big book, quite inexpensive in its earlier editions.
In 50 hours I was able to finish the first chapter (propositional logic) and achieve 54 exercises.
Again, they assume that you know quite a bit in Mathematics.
Nevertheless, they are very interesting even though I had difficulties to follow them.
One teacher (Tom Leighton) has better teaching skills than others.
However, they all have a very deep knowledge of their respective subjects.
What I learned so far
III.
Another important reason which guided my choice: I really enjoyed doing some Mathematics.
Without that, I would have not continued to study computer science.
I would advise you to give it a try.
At that point I decided to alternate between studying Discrete Mathematics and the basics of Mathematics.
It covers a lot of ground very quickly with a lot of exercises.
The tips given are very good as well to understand and solve basic problems quickly.

Learning computer science: Whats next?
Computer science is hard to study.
Going through this journey asks for work, patience, and dedication.
Having clear goals, a concrete study plan and enjoying the process are mandatory.
