I find that discoverability is the problem. Out of all the classes I took, 2 without a doubt made the whole experience worth it and is still paying dividends: (discrete math and advanced algorithms) -- but I had no idea at the time that they would be the ones that would provide so much value. They were the classes that convinced me that I wanted to write software and not do electrical engineering. I wonder how you can solve this without simply going through the four years and hoping for the best.
- avindroth 6y agoWhich discrete math class? (Currently trying to decide on a math class for autumn as CS major)
- matthewaveryusa 6y agoThis one back in 2014 -- just the intro undergrad class. I actually absorb very little from lectures and do most of my learning by reading and doing problems myself -- the book was so good I read it cover to cover and did a lot of the practice problems. https://wl11gp.neu.edu/udcprod8/bwckctlg.p_disp_course_detail?cat_term_in=201610&subj_code_in=MATH&crse_numb_in=2310 https://wl11gp.neu.edu/udcprod8/bwckctlg.p_disp_course_detai... https://www.amazon.com/Discrete-Mathematics-Applications-Kenneth-Rosen/dp/0073229725/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=discrete+mathematics+and+its+applications+8th+edition&qid=1597488825&sprefix=discrete+math&sr=8-12 https://www.amazon.com/Discrete-Mathematics-Applications-Ken...
