Inspired by the well-received question "Are there books for mathematics like Feynman's lectures on physics?": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21346272 The answers have great books like "What Is Mathematics? An Elementary Approach to Ideas and Methods" by Courant and Robbins - typically a book that you can use to learn mathematics to a rather advanced level starting with zero knowledge. I guess for informatics such a book could be, for example, "Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software" by Charles Petzold. Can you recommend books to study biology, chemistry, economics, law ... "the X" which are like that - starting from the ground level building real knowledge and understanding of a field to move to a more specific subject later on? Thank you. |
