I recently wrote an article called "So You Want To Get Into Theoretical Computer Science," which is mostly about how to read a bunch of papers to figure out some obscure, heretofore unimplemented (outside of academia) algorithm. The biggest challenge was reading the mathematical notation, to whit: the four biggest papers in the field I was studying used four different notations, and that you'll end up writing your own translation guide: https://elfsternberg.com/2018/10/27/so-you-want-to-get-into-theoretical-computer-science/ https://elfsternberg.com/2018/10/27/so-you-want-to-get-into-...
