Books, Blogs and Others
This is a list of resources I've found on the internet that seemed somewhat interesting. That includes (mostly) books, but also blog posts, papers, etc. Link may not be canonical. This is not a list of stuff I've read; most likely, it's things that I want to read at some point or just wanted to save in case I ever need them.

97 Things Every Programmer Should Know
Pearls of wisdom for programmers collected from leading practitioners.
Introduction to Applied Linear Algebra
Introduction to Applied Linear Algebra – Vectors, Matrices, and Least Squares Stephen Boyd and Lieven Vandenberghe
This book is used as the textbook for the course EE103 (Stanford) and EE133A (UCLA), where you will find additional related material.
Mathematics and Computation
Here is just one tip of the iceberg we’ll explore in this book: How much time does it take to find the prime factors of a 1,000-digit integer?
Reverse Engineering for Beginners
There are several popular meanings of the term “reverse engineering”:
- The reverse engineering of software; researching compiled programs
- The scanning of 3D structures and the subsequent digital manipulation required in order to duplicate them
- Recreating DBMS8 structure
This book is about the first meaning
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Not much to say about this, everyone should have read SICP.
The Algorithm Design Manual
Most professional programmers that I’ve encountered are not well prepared to tackle algorithm design problems. This is a pity, because the techniques of algorithm design form one of the core practical technologies of computer science.

Memory Cache and Lisp
Here we concentrate on automatic rearrangement of data, and examine the belief, common in some technical circles, that modern generational copying garbage collectors (GC) will improve data caching by relocating and compressing data, as a matter of normal processing.
T-Collide
This paper presents T-Collide, a fast, low memoryoverhead, low execution-cost, time-based collision detection scheme. It is intended for real-time systems such as games or simulations to optimize collision detection between large numbers of mobile objects.
