Ask HN: What are some good/interesting papers in CS for a beginner?
8 by avinassh | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I am looking for papers which are easy to understand, papers which are for undergraduates. I often stumble upon papers which require lots of reading to do and soon I have dug into a recursive rabbit hole. I would like to know about papers which have minimal citations/dependencies and only require knowledge of CS basics. A good example of such paper would be Bitcoin. You don't need to be a CS wizard to understand the paper. Plus, you can ignore the math part and yet appreciate the beauty of Bitcoin. Some other examples: Bit Torrent, TOTP RFC.
