#2Here is one compiled list of answers:

One nice thing about this list is that every recommendation must be accompanied by a few books not recommended. I think this request helps prevent well-meaning non-experts pollute the list with books from smaller reading pools.

#4If you want to know about how to build a simple computer, computer architecture, assembly language, assemblers, linkers, compilers, java, c, c++, how compilers are built, how compilers generate assembly language, how machine code are executed by the processor, how to implement a grep with regular expressions and much more. If you want to learn them fast, look for the books of this author[0]. I'm not affiliated with him. I learned many stuffs from his text books so I just like to share and recommend.

and also:
- [1] The Elements of Statistical Learning
- [2] Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction by Barto and Sutton
- [3] The Deep Learning by Aaron Courville, Ian Goodfellow, and Yoshua Bengio
- [4] Neural Network Methods for Natural Language Processing (Synthesis Lectures on Human Language Technologies) by Yoav Goldberg
Then some math tid-bits:
[5] Introduction to Linear Algebra by Strang

#8Image Processing: "Digital Image Processing", Gonzalez and Woods. Comprehensive coverage of principles, well written, practical w/ useful examples yet well grounded in signal processing and engineering principles. Complemented nicely by a version of the book rich in examples solved in MATLAB (co-author Steve Eddins).
