Other Computer Science Books: Must-Reads for Students

AI Thread Summary
For computer science students looking to enhance their programming skills and knowledge, several key resources are recommended. Notably, Donald Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" is highlighted as a classic text that covers essential algorithms in depth. Participants in the discussion suggest that specifying particular topics of interest could lead to more tailored book recommendations. Additionally, a link to a forum thread on programming resources is provided for further exploration. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of foundational texts and encourages students to seek out diverse materials based on their specific interests within computer science.

For the following four books, has anyone used them in a course or for self study? Compiler Construction Principles and Practice 1st Edition by Kenneth C Louden Programming Languages Principles and Practices 3rd Edition by Kenneth C Louden, and Kenneth A Lambert Programming Languages 2nd Edition by Allen B Tucker, Robert E Noonan Concepts of Programming Languages 9th Edition by Robert W Sebesta If yes to either, can you share your opinions about your personal experience using them. I...
Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
