It's the holiday seasons soon and I was going to get some books for studying mathematics and computer engineering/science.
Would any of you know any good books or resources?
It's nothing to advanced I am just finishing HS right now and is going to study CS, mathematics or CE.
Happy holidays Anon's.

Be careful with CS. So many people do c.s now, even though media says they are in short supply- they aren't(just make sure you stand out). You should look into shell, C#,git, dotnet, MIT opencourseware, maybe even docker. Many people fail to have the drive, or attention span, to learn on their own, but you are off to a good start. People at my university take adderall and other "study drugs" to cope for their low attention spans. Also know this, videogames filter students out just as much as the coursework.
You could find videos on how to do everything above online for free e.g., freecodecamp on youtube. Also linkedInLearning has very good tutorials, from my experience, on how to use certain tools and teaches datastructures and other topics fairly well.

cs is the only field where there is slightly more work available. but i do agree with the caution, especially when it comes to choosing programs. that is the biggest danger, so many bs cs programs out there that are practically koding with karlie.

Yea I know about the CS bs and people thinking it's just coding and that it's not easy to get a job anyway.
I'm not like the retards to study CS to become a codemonkey.
The reason why I will probably choose it is because of the mathematics, logic and implementation of it with computers, through software, or hardware.
I was thinking of getting a bachelor in mathematics and then getting a master in CS, do anyone have any experience with similar situation where you get your master and bachelor in different fields?

Don't you have a library in your university/city? Don't spend money, even for education

I will go to uni next year and they have a library but I am not that sure if it contains alot of the books.
I live in a little town atm with no library, so I need to get the books myself.
I also like to have physical books

My highschool cs teacher did something similar to that. I believe he got a masters in cs and mathematics and worked at raytheon for sometime. Those two majors complement each other pretty well, especially when it comes to theory.

i got a bachelors degree in math and compsci, but my first full-time job does involve codemonkey sorta things. i don't mind it but it's probably somewhat inevitable for entry-level positions.

docker seems like one of those trends that will phase out in a few years. when i first realized what kubernetes was, it just sounds like the candy bar bag carrying bags from spongebob. i'll still try to get an idea of it though.

Having books is great, I don't want to discourage you from having them. However, my tiny Uni with like 5 math majors every year and only one "real" math prof has a nice little collection of math books, which even includes a couple of graduate texts (no idea about cs, tho). Don't be worried if you don't have all the books before you go in, and have fun!

This is software principles, not CS

Your favorite linear algebra book
Baby Rudin
Munkres topology
Hatcher alg topology
Your favorite abstract algebra book
Arora-Barak computational complexity
Oded computational complexity
Your favorite complex analysis book
Flajolet analytic combinatorics
Widgerson math and computation
Domain theory and measurement

CS is young and most of the big dick results are still buried in papers and conference notes. Look at this
https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F11780342#toc
Many of the books have free online PDFs. I recommend printing them out at the library if you like physical copies.

Double major. It works really well, and did me very well.

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
The Little Schemer
Introduction to Algorithms - CLRS
Introduction to the Theory of Computation - Sipser
Compilers - the dragon book

Those books are all god-tier and will provide you a decent undergraduate education in CS theory. They also feature more advanced content you can return to later for a peek at graduate level work.
