I assume that a set of HN users have some degree in computer science. I am myself studying my 4th semester. Starting to reflecy what I shall write my thesis about.

Hence:

What is your degree?

What did you write about in your bachelor/master thesis?

I have seminar next week I my OS class. We're supposed to summarize the article below. However it is quite technical & abstract for me and my classmates. I would love if someone could shed some light into the theorems and how they are deducted.

It is suppose to be a really famous article in hard real-time systems, but I would say it's slightly overkill for Bs students to read though.

Article: Liu, C. L.; Layland, J. (1973), "Scheduling algorithms for multiprogramming in a hard real-time environment", Journal of the ACM, 20

What are the most common/important classes in a typical/classical computer science BSc?

Would you say formal languages & automata as well as linear algebra are among these for instance? Should one study the above in their free time if they're not included?

What classes did you find important when starting to work?
