Lately I’ve been exploring the possible career choices of having a graduate level degree (M.Sc. or PH.D) in Computer Science. For me, I’m interested in not only theoretical Computer Science, but also the practical applications of the field. I came across this blog post on scienceblogs.com where three different types of work for Computer Scientists [...]

Check out this infographic which describes many of the Computer Science pioneers, various facts, algorithms, statistics, and other information. After reviewing it for a few minutes I noticed that it is by no means ‘complete’, but its really interesting nonetheless. Also, I’ve linked to a full-size version of the infographic and also a smaller one [...]

It provides a good introduction to information theory, probability coding, applications of probability coding, data compression algorithms, and more related information. I haven’t had a chance to read over the entire [...]

As a relative newcomer to a Computer Science M.Sc. program I have trying to do a lot of reading and understanding outside of the assigned coursework and information from the university. It seems to be difficult at times to understand and digest some of the information out there. Much of it is really complex and [...]
