Introduction to Theoretical Computer Science
Introduction to Theoretical Computer Science by Boaz Barak provides an overview of some basic notions. This voluminous note starts with serious foundational mathematics needed to understand the intricacies of computation. Among several models of computation and their representations, he deals with finite and uniform computations. Key topics: It presents efficient algorithms which are essential in solving practical problems and randomized computation, one of whose important features is to bring probabilistic methods into the design of algorithms. Advanced topics broaden the knowledge further towards recent research and trends. This note is intended for students and professionals at large who wish to have a rigorous introduction to theoretical aspects and their practical applications in computer science.

CS Unplugged is an entertaining way to help learn about the basics of computer science, using snacks, sorting games, and puzzles-none of which require a computer. The PDF covers basic material like data representation, algorithms, and procedures through to advanced and specialized topics such as intractability, cryptography, and human-computer interaction. This is ideal for teachers and students alike who seek knowledge about concepts in computer science using interactives with no digital support; therefore, suitable for any environment where the learning process takes place.
