I am a 2nd year math major who wants to do a PhD in AI. I already have a little background in programming and CS. I have some experience in game design, app development and computer security. I wouldn’t call myself an expert, but I am comfortable with C, C++, Python, Javascript C#, Java and … Read more
Context I am doing an undergrad math project that involves exploring Donald Knuth’s “TAOCP, Volume 4, fascicle 6: Satisfiability”. I am having trouble parsing some of this material. Surely there are some online forums where different sections are unpacked or discussed or translated into Python? I googled this but cannot find anything that helps me. … Read more
Read this many years ago and can’t remember who it was about. Nor can I remember the exact quote. The story goes: Famous computer scientist/professor is teaching a class. Student is having some problem w/ a machine and wants to reboot it, hoping to fix the issue. Professor chides him, saying something to the effect … Read more

I don’t know much when it comes to computers, But If I wanted to learn how to programm algorithms that perform symbolic calculations and other techniques used to solve or aid mathematical problems, and to be able to classify the efficiency of different types of algorithms in terms of different factors, what sub field of … Read more
As a student, back in the day, I was exposed to high level programming languages that not only had a GOTO statement, but on which its use was common. I also did my fair share of programming in assembly code, but always had the impression that my understanding of the semantics of subprograms was enormously … Read more
I’m having some difficulty trying to follow what the authors of some of the more highly recommended books on algorithms. I ran into the same problem when trying out some online courses. My goal is to prepare myself to start learning fundamental algorithms for use in low-level languages by means of understanding them mathematically. So … Read more
If this is not the right forum for this question let me know. I am looking for a physical algorithm that can be easily followed by anyone not knowing much mathematics to get integer partitions of a number. I have come up with the following way – but there is an issue (described later). Suppose … Read more
So I’m reading Introduction to computing systems:From bits and gates to C and beyond, and the author states that a CPU is the mechanism that …directs the processing of information. Which is figuring out what task should get carried out next My question is: what exactly does he mean when he says that a processor … Read more
