List of intro TCS books for those who don’t know much about TCS

Im taking a course on Theoretical computer Science. and I use Sipser's Introduction to Theory of Computation as my reference manual. However, many times I find myself lost in the proofs. Ive tried following Shai Simpson's online lectures ,but would prefer something more watered down and easier to understand. Im open to any pointers/strategies or resources.

Improve this question

  • $\begingroup$ How much do you expect proofs to be watered down without becoming non-proofs? I think you should stick to TCS books if you hope to learn something; maybe another author has a style you can work with?. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I am not sure this is the right place for this, sorry. If you feel like you should get an answer here, please flag your question so the other mods can weigh in, or open a thread on Computer Science Meta. You might want to try Computer Science Chat, too. (With a bit of patience, it's not too crowded there these days.) $\endgroup$
