Amazing school! I was class of 2003. It was a really great combination of hard computer science topics along side close to the metal programming. I graduated proficient in Vim, C/C++, make, kernel driver development, digital control systems, networking AND complexity theory, algorithms, languages, error analysis, protocols, operating systems etc... I got B’s, still somehow remember differential equations. Couldn’t be happier with the result :)
- unemphysbro 7y ago:) the complexity theory and algos classes were some of my favorite. They really rewired the way I think.
- aey 7y agoAlmost 20 years after, recurrence annihilators still blow my mind. http://jeffe.cs.illinois.edu/teaching/algorithms/notes/99-recurrences.pdf http://jeffe.cs.illinois.edu/teaching/algorithms/notes/99-re... I wish I was a better student, but there was at least 1 bar with $1 drinks on any given night.
- flafla2 7y agoThis is great stuff, thanks for sharing. Currently working through an algorithms class at CMU, and I haven’t yet encountered the idea of a recurrence “annihilator”. Cheers :)
- unemphysbro 7y agoWoah, thanks for bringing that up. Hahaha, I'm on the job market post-grad school so that's super helpful. Some of my fondest memories are going to Murphys or the Illini inn after finishing a long MP with my group of friends.
