'Familiarity with U.S. high school level algebra concepts; Single-variable calculus: familiarity with matrices, derivatives and integrals.'
Fix for [computer-science/issues/825](#825)
Discord user crokei26#1613 created an initial version of this great resource. A huge thanks to them!
- fixes #818
- removed `CUDA` and `GPU programming` from topics (left over from before)
We often get issues opened that are empty, with no text or description of a problem. This may be because learners follow the link from the Community section, and post in order to interact. By removing the link (but keeping the link to the contributing instructions) we can hopefully direct new learners in how to interact productively.
Changed the 2 invite links (one inside the svg) to direct to the #welcome discord channel. Also changed some relevant language.

Resolves #1134
- Adds note about course textbook to be taken as optional as with any paid material listed in all OSSU courses
- Adds extra practice as shared by @pulkitkrishna00
- Modifies bullets to be numbered. Instructions should be numbered.
Change the timeline spreadsheet link to the updated one in the OSSU google workspace.
* Add information about pset due dates

A frequently asked question from students on discord is whether they are supposed to do pset 1 just after lecture 2, when it requires topics which they have not covered yet. Add information about that.

* Update README.md
…with the FAQ (#1315)

Change the link in the prerequisite column of the Intro CS course to point to the FAQ about high school math, and not to Khan academy, to keep things consistent
Another attempt at switching to a better theme (with dark mode) for the OSSU CS github pages website. It looks like this: https://pulkitkrishna.eu.org/computer-science/

Changes:
- Change the theme to `minima`, the default jekyll theme (jekyll is the static site generator used by github pages). This supports a dark theme. if your OS and Browser is in dark mode, the website will appear with a dark theme.
- Made some changes to the theme's components to better fit the OSSU github repository layout, and not require any changes to the markdown files themselves. The goal is to not affect anyone who uses the github repository instead, in any way.
- Added a favicon
- Change the OSSU banner and the "keep learning" image to local webp images, instead of png/jpeg hosted on imgur, to make them load faster.
- Remove the mention of curriculum version number.
* force gh-pages to render CONTRIBUTING.md

* fix link to hs math faq

Pin the minima theme version, as recommended by https://github.com/jekyll/minima README

* Replace FAQ links with Pre-College Math

* Correct link

* Remove / for consistency
Remove a duplicate entry for the book How to Design Programs (2nd ed.).
* Fix broken udacity links

* Switch CS61C to archive link

* Change database systems course to link to the course page
Previous url now redirects to new url
Computer Networks: A Systems Approach is a freely available web-based ebook that teaches computer networking from a bottom-up systems perspective, as opposed to the top-down approach seen in the OSSU curriculum. The book has been included in several university curricula, such as CMU's 15-441.
* Update Edx links to How to Code on SPD coursepage

* Update Edx links in the main curriculum
Most links were update to follow redirects.
The link to Delft University's Introduction to Functional Programming 404's, however, old links redirect to this URL, and so do search results on Edx. I assume this is a temporary issue from Edx and the page is supposed to be at this URL.

Colombia's Machine Learning and Data Science course is gone entirely, so that link was deleted.
The textbook version of the Stanford Algorithms set of courses from the OSSU curriculum
