Question

Please show me the best free / online courses to allow me to gain a further understanding of CS theory and other closely related theory (Maths, cryptography, etc). If this has been asked before or something similar please link. Thanks.

Two books (get used copies for cheap);* Foundations of Computer Science - http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/focs.html* Specifying Software: A Hands-On Introduction - https://www.amazon.com/Specifying-Software-Hands-Introductio... The name is a misnomer. See the ToC. This is actually a practical introduction to CS theory.

I'm really enjoying Types and Programming Languages right now. Imagine that rather than explaining typing using metaphors (a useful activity), people started at a much lower level and built up from there. That's this book!https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/tapl/
