do any of you know of free resources for learning more about math/computer science concepts? I've tried youtube but I can't seem to focus on what they're saying so I'm looking for any good text based materials

In general, I find (for almost any topic), the older the book the more useful it tends to be. Even in supposedly fast-moving areas like CS, things really aren't moving all that fast (and the faster they move, the less likely they are to be relevant in the future) · 1 year ago
IMO there are 2 fundamental books: The Pragmatic Programmer, by Andrew Hunt, and The Art of Computer Programmer, by Donald Knut. Next, I would recomend Concrete Mathematics also by Knuth. To learn the basicson how to program perhaps The Self-Taught Programmer, by Cory Althoff. · 1 year ago
thanks a lot for those. I will save these links for when I have time to look · 1 year ago
Can't help you with speech synthesis. As for encryption, it depends. Lots of material out there about *using* existing encryption standards. Developing it is another matter, it's a really hard topic and you need a good grounding in advanced mathematics before approaching it. There's a free Stanford course available if you want a good introduction: https://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/courses/OnlineCrypto/ · 1 year ago
There's a lot of resources out there, but here's a couple of good free books on operating systems: http://littleosbook.github.io/book.pdf https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/ · 1 year ago

That's a pretty broad range of subjects. Do you have anything more specific in mind? Languages, topics, projects you want to work on? · 1 year ago
