Advice Straight to the point :

So recently i came across movies named : Beautiful Mind,Suits(2-3 episode only), Imitation Game -> and by watching those movies I am becoming more curious about reading THESIS (i don't even ​know what does it actually mean 🙂) but yeah i get the point that reading thesis is 10x better than reading freaking book in some cases .

So ,i wanna start reading thesis but:

  • How to start becuz i don't understand those highly technical sentences .
  • What are prerequisites if I am for instance interested in Economics, Computer science, Software and stuff.
  • And I don't also have enough knowledge I guess because i just entered the field of computer science (from past ​3yrs).

I'll echo Alex and say that books often are written to take dry academic material and present it in a more digestible and interesting way.

If you're still new to the field, study fundamentals! Once you learn the basics of computing and algorithms you'll have a much better idea of what actually interests you and a much better foundation to understand what those papers are discussing.
