“Oh shit I better remember all that matrix algebra I forgot already!”
…Then takes a class on anything with 3d graphics… “oh shit matrix algebra again!”
…then takes a class on machine learning “urg more matrix math!”
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoEEs actually had a head start on ML, especially those who took signal processing.
- liontwist 2y agoI think anyone with an academic bone in their body had a head start on ML. Linear algebra, optimization, gradients, etc are 1st and 2nd year topics for STEM. The software industry is dominated by self taught hackers and EE/math/physics drop outs. CS prestige is less than 10 years old.
- zahlman 2y agoFrom my experience, complex exponentials were a much more important fundamental than matrices.
- hinkley 2y agoI remember vectors in 3D graphics but I don’t recall them in EE 101. maybe I blotted it out.
