First Semester Computer Science Starter Pack

First semester of computer science starter pack "Programming is just a tool" repeated in every lecture Discrete Mathematics and Algebraic Structures Calculus A Complete Course ALGORITHMS Lots of people that want to make videogames Learning to program an old ass Motorola processor Professors look either like this: or like this: Half the people you see will drop out before next semester The guy using Arch on a ThinkPad WolframAlpha "By induction" "By construction" "By iterating over the structure"

A collage presents the stereotypical first semester of computer science: intimidating mathematics textbooks, obscure programming tools, an ancient Motorola processor, eccentric professors, an Arch Linux user on a ThinkPad, and students who may drop out. The joke exaggerates the gap between beginners’ expectations and the overly theoretical, nerdy, and difficult reality of computer science studies, especially mocking jargon-heavy explanations and aspiring game developers.
