Why do you think Warsaw is a top university? It's the first time I hear about it
- tetek 7y agoIt has a very strong math/cs department. (MIMUW https://www.mimuw.edu.pl/en https://www.mimuw.edu.pl/en). I've been doing my master's degree there. Although I've never finished the final paper, I consider it to be one of the best decision / time well spent. Great staff. Professors are just awesome (some of them are also lecturing at abroad universities). Students as well. You will find the brightest polish minds there (the entry exam is not that easy, and big part of the students are math Olympiad finalists). Courses: 1. Logic - Poland has produced some of top logicians, you can see the inheritance during the lessons. Loved it. 2. Compilers - you will be able to compile in head and on paper. JVM/LLVM/Assembly, you will learn how to write parsers, compilers etc. 3. Cryptography - there are a lot of crypto enthusiasts in the department, you will learn anything you need. 4. Parallel computing - access to super computers, programming Nvidia, verification. 5. Seminars aka what you want to focus on, there's a long list from which you can pick from. My main focus was on game theory, and I've learned a ton and had a great support from professors. Perks: FAAMGS companies line up couple times a year recruiting for internships and work (always seducing with free pizza). Some of the students I know spent every summer in Bay Area, and would accumulate enough money to live in Warsaw for the next academic year.
