#4Interesting, but woefully incomplete since it doesn't include a single turnstile-based statement. I'm still looking for the cheat sheet that includes an explanation for how to read and comprehend anything written by Simon Peyton-Jones.

#6This seems more like a cheat sheet of applied mathematics with CS flavoring than a theoretical CS cheat sheet...
* Optimal asymptotic time/space efficiencies for the most important problems
* The best known exponent for matrix multiplication
* Names and definitions of some popular complexity classes
* Some common but not obvious big/little O comparisons
* Dual conversions from optimization
* Probabilistic bounds used all over CS (Chernoff, Chebyshev)
* Basic facts about spectral graph theory
* The most often used inequalities like (1-x) * Best known approximation ratios for various problems
* Central open conjectures like P vs NP and the unique games conjecture
* VC/margin bounds from learning theory
I could go on...

Seriously. Five pages of calculus? Come on. A real cheat sheet might have: * Optimal asymptotic time/space efficiencies for the most important problems * The best known exponent for matrix multiplication * Names and definitions of some popular complexity classes * Some common but not obvious big/little O comparisons * Dual conversions from optimization * Probabilistic bounds used all over CS (Chernoff, Chebyshev) * B…

#9The irony is the act of compiling such a sheet meant you temporarily memorized the information on the sheet and didnt really need the sheet.
