The situation isn't any better at universities. Even at the top-10 universities you can get a "computer science" degree taking at most the standard discrete math + algorithms courses. (And not to mention, there's apparently even one university where you get to call yourself an "electrical engineer" without even touching signal processing or anything more advanced than RLC circuits.)
- abdullahkhalids 4y agoCorrect, and I criticize them too. But universities do it because they presumably want to cash in on the prestige of associating the degree with 'science'. A standalone course, which presumably comes from the ethos of rejecting degree-based education, is completely free to call a spade a spade.
- bombolo 4y agoMy master's course only accepted students whose bachelor degree included a minimum amount of credits in mathematics. All of the computer-whatever bachelors from around the world are not allowed to sign up for it.
