Map original came from a youtube video where the uploader was mentioning the scam that is STEM degree's,
I want to get into AI and currently don't have the funds to just jump into college or university to get a degree yet (will work and save up but don't think I should wait until then to learn).
So I copied the list down and made a rudimentary road map and now I'm seeking two things;
1.) Any CS Major or Graduate, what or how would you modify this map?
2.) Most importantly, I am seeking good college text books that covers these blocks of learning

ok,
any answers for the questions I did ask about?
>1.) Any CS Major or Graduate, what or how would you modify this map?
>2.) Most importantly, I am seeking good college text books that covers these blocks of learning
(you)
thanks for the bump, not sure why you're being so immature and childish when my inquiry doesn't harm you or even impact you one way or the other.
its truly telling at the mental pathology you're experiencing and its sad you have to find random anons online to be dicks to just because you're having issues in life.
I'm not your enemy anon, just seeking information so I can learn - you just for some unknown reason wanted to throw a tantrum and be disrespectful and rude for no reason.
Seek help anon.
>I want to get into AI
i hate everything about the current generation
sorry to hear you have that personal issues,
any answers for the questions I did ask about?
>1.) Any CS Major or Graduate, what or how would you modify this map?
>2.) Most importantly, I am seeking good college text books that covers these blocks of learning
thanks for your analysis of school credit hours,
any answers for the questions I did ask about?
>1.) Any CS Major or Graduate, what or how would you modify this map?

ok, I appreciate you sharing your personal opinions with me. now;
any answers for the questions I did ask about?
>1.) Any CS Major or Graduate, what or how would you modify this map?
>2.) Most importantly, I am seeking good college text books that covers these blocks of learning
You seem to have a problem comprehending the question, not sure what I can do to write it clearer.
Thanks for sharing your personal opinions, but I was seeking answers to the following questions;
1.) Any CS Major or Graduate, what or how would you modify this map?
2.) Most importantly, I am seeking good college text books that covers these blocks of learning
seems like a lot of you (if you aren't the same anon) have issue with reading comprehension and sharing personal opinions over specifically requested information.
that's odd. but again, thanks for your personal opinions but that doesn't answer my questions or help me unfortunately.
Thank you for continually bumping my thread, sorry you felt the need to be indignant and ignorant today but I understand that miserable people much be miserable to others to try and increase their misery party.
Sincerely hoping you have a better outlook on life and feel better about yourself anon.
If your parents aren't richgays and you don't live in a third world country, you can go to your in-state community College for pennies. Work a part time job while you do it and study as much as you can. This is my honest advice, it will get you most of the way there. I ended up only paying about $4k out of pocket while going to college and about $10k in student loans when I graduated with a BS. Well worth the investment
ok,
do you have answers for the questions I did ask about?
>1.) Any CS Major or Graduate, what or how would you modify this map?
>2.) Most importantly, I am seeking good college text books that covers these blocks of learning
go to your local uni website look up the required curriculum anons are going to do that shit for you its free to browse do it yourself you will not be self taught if you need your hand held SAGE IN ALL FIELDS
>Precalc
Ngmi
You need to study and place directly into calculus I. Precalc is going to eat up two classes worth of credit hours (literally time and money) that you could've used towards your major.
Unironically listen to
and find classes you can place out of/ take in community college over the summer. My school had a chemistry requirement (2 classes, 4 credit hours each) that I skipped by taking chemistry in a community college over the summer. Reduced my graduation from 5 years to 4 (3.5 if I had taken differential equations too)
Ok thanks,
Care to answer my directly asked questions?
Troll?
I have been asking direct questions and for some reason anons took offense to that.
When is asking about book recommendations been a troll act?
I doubt you even read my OP or understood it.
But thanks for the bump
for operating systems look into osdev wiki and project oberon
for algorithms look into taocp
for cryptography i recommend stallings cryptography and network security, i have no experience with his other books
what seems to be completely missing is networking protocols, probably no need to explain why they are important, for this i don't know a good source other than reading different RFCs
I appreciate your response anon, thank you.
np, the spergout that the other anon is having is quite funny
at least in my country no one cares about the degree, they care about what you know and have experience with
good luck with your journey
I really appreciate the well wishes and yea I don't get what Anon's issue is but its not mine and I'm not going to stoop to his level.
If you wanna do AI, after intro statistics you should learn Data Analysis using python and some standard libraries like numpy, matplotlib, and pandas. Then do Machine Learning and add some ML libraries like pytorch. Then do Deep Learning which I think requires some linear algebra. Finally learn about LLMs. You probably oughta read a book about AI ethics or something too. I don't have good books to recommend for most of those subjects unfortunately.
Rest of the list looks pretty good as far as topics go. I would throw in Distributed Systems towards the end after databases or software engineering.
Refer to https://teachyourselfcs.com/ for good textbooks about most of the subjects you wanna learn, and there's /textbook/ threads on here all the time too
Thank you Anon!
thank you for bump
any answers to specific questions I asked about?
Stopping your mathematics track after linear algebra is going to limit your ability to be more than a generic code monkey. Multivariable calculus, Differential equations, and preferably a course focused on optimization methods should be considered necessary.
As for learning resources, start with MIT opencourseware for your baseline math/science/CS fundamentals and by the time you have that figured out everything you'd want to read about AI now will be outdated.
BS in CS literally not worth the paper its printed on, much less tuition+loan interest+tip. Sorry you had to find out this way, next time do engineering.
If this dude posts no one cares about the degree again I'm gonna coom
write a definite finite automata machine that will reduce this down for u
Change your name to Richard Stalinman and be an advocate. No other roadmap needed.
1. "Getting into AI" is a meaningless problem I cannot answer. To use a comparison, let's say you want to get into IQfy. There's over 60 boards, 50+ threads on each one. Suffice to say, there's a lot of threads, and as such, "getting" into IQfy is undefined. That's the same as your question, I can't answer "how would you modify this map" because I have zero understanding of your question besides "getting into AI", which is vague. At most I'm gonna assume you mean get a job in it.
What I can say is all the stuff you put on your map is useless. If you want to get into AI, you find the topics in AI and read about them. You don't need to read a textbook on linear algebra to get started with AI. Oh it'll help (and might be required to really understand), but there will always be some gaps in knowledge. So instead of trying to plug in those gaps prematurely, you go through the stuff that interests you, and if you find that you are just unable to understand whatever you're reading/working on, then you find the prerequisite and study it.
2. Besides searching on reddit, it's irrelevant question. Learning != reading a singular textbook, you read multiple, articles, videos, and even application. It's about getting a well-rounded understanding of the topic. At most, I can say you'll probably want to learn programming, so check out automating the boring stuff with python
Anyways, best of luck, but I genuinely doubt you'll succeed
>1. "Getting into AI" is a meaningless problem I cannot answer.
then why respond?
Seems like you're either trolling or love to see your own waffle
this is indeed a scam. there should be at least 3-4 times more math and math related subjects.
Ok thanks
ok, thanks
ok, thanks
Can anyone here on IQfy comprehend what is being said? I find it alarming that out of 80 replies in here only 1 or 2 anons seem to be able to read and comprehend questions.
but thanks for bumping this.
I'm
and you're an entitled moron. Just do what I fricking told you and stop bumping your shit thread.
is there a version of this where the female has a rocket launcher instead of a puny sword?
How the frick should I know I just save these I don't make them.
well I would have preferred it with a real weapon instead of a sad looking sword
probably dagger even, I think I should be able to see it in her thigh gap if it was very long a'tall unless the shaft was super thin
>No calculus 3/gradient descent for backprop.
>Zero (0) statistics classes
>Architecture and Compilers
1)
>skip precalc
>skip data structures, comp architecture, operating systems, software engineering, theory of computing, compilers, and databases
>skip discrete math, skip linear algebra
Replace with formal and informal logic, as much as possible.
Keep algorithms and take it multiple times with different books
Take as many statistics courses as possible
Take mathematical modeling
Take programming courses, none of those meme fricking flowcharts have actual fricking coding which you need.
The more math you have the better off you're going to be
2)
homie I ain't doing your fricking homework.
>3 books on algorithms
>2 books on formal logic
>1 book on informal logic
>2 books on statistics
>2 books each on C++, Lisp, and Assembler
You're welcome.
Nah, discrete math and linear algebra are useful. in hindsight they are simple but as a newbie they are essential
op wants anons to do the work for them
How so? I'm asking for advice from individuals who have actually been to school for CS so I can gain some insight into books to begin reading, not sure how asking for help = "do my work for me".
this isn't even a homework assignment but I understand that you, like the majority of other anons in this thread, have issues understanding simple english.
but thanks for bumping this.
I got about 85-90% of a CS degree back around 2005. My advice is to get books on the subjects you believe you need to learn and read them and do the exercises they provide. Not sure how much more you expect than that. You go to a school for the support from professors (usually shit) and that school signing a piece of paper that you know the shit. That's literally all there is to it. Since a home learner won't get that paper or support from professors you will need two things: 1. A way to prove you know your shit (a portfolio of projects you complete on your own) and
2. Be smart enough to research problems on your own or know where to go online to ask questions (hint: IQfy ain't it)
>I got about 85-90% of a CS degree back around 2005.
Your input is about 15-10% too short to matter. thanks for almost getting a CS degree, go back then come back.
i can offer advice on cybersecurity degree that I did get 100% of
I doubt your advice is anything beyond inflated ego and reach. you quit or got kicked out of school for CS and decided to go cybersecurity lol. thanks but NO Thanks. keep your advice to yourself Jordan, have a great nice.
Nice grammer/English bro
yeah just make up your alternate reality and believe it
Focus on maths and logic
Programming languages come later but first you need foundation of logic
AI field is mostly meme everyone from professors to students everyone makes fun of AI specialization because the tech is developing so fast that by thr time you graduate the thing you learned is ancient history
But still you can have a solid fundamental if you are dedicated enough
AI hasn't changed since forever, it's still just fricking neural nets
I didn't read your questions, I only read the post I replied to.
You don't need to do two semesters of precalc? Just go self-study calc 1 if you even did just algebra 2 in HS and then take it at a community college for next to nothing. The commitment with that is also so low that you can work full time and attend/study for just one class outside of work hours very easily.
That is the basis for anything that is heavily math-based in CS. If you want to get into ML/AI, that is a very math-based area. Focus on your math. You only have it going to linear algebra on this chart as well. That + calc 1 and 2 only if you intend to get into a math-heavy sub-discipline is a mistake. Add more math, perhaps those two CS electives on the left could just be higher-level math classes.
here
I took precalculus in high school, as well as calculus I and II
I only retook II in college so I could get an easy A and to refresh since I wasn't how sure the AP test really prepared me.
Go look at the higher-level math classes at your local uni and take those/equivalents wherever you go.
enjoy this upcoming ban for spamming outside of /b/,
I know you'll likely use a vpn, but the enjoyment that you'll have to pay for vpn just to troll on IQfy is going to be worth it.
enjoy
but why is there high school math
I don't know, I didn't make this list I grab the list off of Youtube and re-wrote it in my notes to follow up on.
Look how childish you are, you are angry at me for seeking knowledge. nothing more, nothing less. then you have the audacity to expose that you flunked out of school for CS and went Cybersecurity as if that makes you better or smarter. if anything you just admitted to be a lazy, don't know anything, loud troll who believes his self-superiority complex is valid outside of his own limited mentality.
You just want to troll and I doubt you even do a good job securing systems or networks.
keep your drivel to yourself anon, you clearly only know how to troll.
Seek knowledge monsieur, it does not bother me. I flunked out of computer science twice actually because I learned I am only most above average intelligence and it ruined my American world where I was always told I was smart as frick. You wouldn't understand that of course, because you did not grow up in such an environment where you have to learn to be humble.
I am a troll as well, and I am very good at it. However, I am not trolling in this particular thread. I don't have a job securing systems or networks but I would probably be good at it.
You don't seem to be good at much beyond begging online and then pretending to know things about other anons.
btw im drunk rn so please fill in the linguistic gaps as needed
Here's the shortened version:
Do CS Degree -> Become Unemployed due to AI
I'm sorry you have no positive outlook on job employment but I am not asking you for job employment forecasting. its cool not to know something, what isn't cool is given your subjective view on questions not asking for it.
Hope you find a better more secure job anon.
Just in case anyone is interested in the same question as my OP, here's the book list I've been able to find while digging on the net throughout the day (picrel)
Due to this thread becoming bogged down with miserable anons looking to cause online conflict, I'm going to abandon this thread after this post but I felt it would benefit others who may find this thread later on as to any update to my original OP.
I have not been able to verify or compare if these recommended books are the best to use but I figured its a start, and much more info than I had beginning at my OP.
suprising the same calc 1 book is used when I was in school in 2005
in case you're still checking the thread, if i were to do what you're trying to do i would probably tell myself to make a list of the contents of the courses to focus on
this is because the names dont say anything, and from my experience the books are never covered by their entirety
in uni we sometimes jump around the chapters and fairly often we skip some
for example in algorithms & data structures (1 course), we dont follow the CLRS book linearly and there's way more (often overcomplicated) stuff on the book than we cover
also (if you are) you shouldn't stick to python, you should learn to code in any language (i.e. be able to pick them up fairly quickly)
