💻 Computer Science Notebook 📔
700+ free, structured notes connecting computer science theory to how it's actually used in industry — from algorithms and operating systems to computer vision, LLMs, and edge AI.
🎯 What is this?¶
The Computer Science Notebook is an open, community-driven knowledge base that bridges the gap between theoretical computer science and real-world industry applications.
Whether you're a student learning fundamentals, a professional switching domains, or an engineer exploring a new field, this notebook is a practical companion — organized, tiered by skill level, and cross-referenced from theory to practice.
- 📚 700+ notes across AI/ML, programming, systems, engineering, and fundamentals
- 🏭 Industry sections mapping concepts to automotive, aerospace, healthcare, manufacturing, and more
- 🎚️ Tiered content — most topics split into beginner → intermediate → advanced
- 🔎 Searchable docs site built with MkDocs Material — browse it here

📓 Open as an Obsidian Vault¶
Because every note is plain Markdown, you can open the whole repository as an Obsidian vault and read, search, and cross-link the notes in a rich linked-knowledge graph — no conversion needed.
See the Authoring Guide for the recommended Obsidian settings (that keep notes MkDocs-compatible) and the AI-assisted note workflow.
🤝 Contributing¶
Contributions are welcome — add a note, fix a link, improve an explanation, or share an industry case study. Good first contributions are labeled in Issues.
See the Contributing Guide for templates and conventions.
🛣️ Roadmap¶
- Content: expand industry coverage, add interactive examples and learning paths
