This probably isnt the place to ask but what are some books that teach the principles of computing without using a specific language
Replying to your comment in case I find my Machine Architecture book while cleaning. It was the most fascinating class I’ve ever taken. The book teaches stuff like “how does electricity become things on screen” and “how to multiply and divide in binary” and “how binary translates insanely easily to hex and why didn’t I know that before this book what the heck” and “machine code wtf how did anyone ever program in this, that’s insane”
edit: writing programs in machine code was super fun and crazy also
Your username is a crime against math.
I changed it to a well-formed formula just for you.
Do informatics people use a different quantor syntax? ¬∃x(∀y(y∈x↔y∉y)) Doesn’t make any statement. The not shouldn’t be in the front. That doesn’t parse. You say: “not exists x[from undefined] such that for all y[from undefined][lack of |]y element from x exactly when y is not element in y” Round braces don’t belong.
I highly recommend the cuckoo’s egg by mathematician Cliff Stohl. Its a great and easy read, following along as he tracked a hacker through university and government mainframes
