It is 18.03. He may have just inadvertently flipped the 0 and 3. It is 18.03 now, and was in 2002 :D.

Check the syllabus. http://www.ellerman.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Guidi-Notes-Rota-Probability-Vol-1-2.pdf http://www.ellerman.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Guidi-Not... Seems that after Gian-Carlo Rota died, the class is defunct. The closet one can get is 18.175, but it still presents material from purely theoretical standpoint (e.g. no application to physics to CS).
- phereford 9y agoHmm my mistake. The blog post said Differential Equation and a classroom of 300 some students. Not many non-core classes have 300 students in them. I remember my diff eq class (18.03) being rather large (similar to 8.01, 18.01, etc etc). While 18.03 is not core, it is a requirement for most engineering disciplines at MIT.
- jamessb 9y agoThe confusion is that the article refers to two different courses: "18.30, differential equation, the largest mathematics course at MIT, with more than 300 students" [ths might be the course that is now 18.03] "18.313, a course I teach in advanced probability theory"
