The Web page you linked to lists it as a "recommended" text, which means it is indeed not the primary text. The required text is Purcell.

Someone who is working on the front-end without basic familiarity with computer science may not recognize such optimization opportunities and may not call a compiler expert in. Also, basic familiarity of computer science is useful for havin

I took CS221 last quarter. So I can say that you got the same assignments and exams; you just weren't required to do the programming assignments. While ml-class was perhaps the third iteration of putting the machine learning class online, a

(Somewhat-smart-ass response alert!) Well, the only two people I personally know who would get all 100s are Peter Norvig and Sebastian Thrun, and I personally wouldn't mind hiring them! Of course, in reality, Peter Norvig and Sebastian Thru

True, but when entering a new line of business, the ability to solve difficult problems is a competitive advantage that a small start-up can leverage against a large company. "Use difficulty as a guide not just in selecting the overall aim

There was a course back in college that alone required 30 hours per week. And it was only the third most difficult course or so in the program, which was computer science.

This was a very low-key offering. These initial experiments led to the AI, DB, and ML classes that are being offered for free, all of which have great production quality. Even Stanford professors have to approach problems incrementally.

Yes, I agree that these are helpful as transcripts. I was merely stating that they make poor notes.

To be fair, it is likely that the developers who "think in algorithms" and so on work on search, their core product, and it is the marketing team that handles the rest of the Web site. So you may be implicating the wrong set of people.

You better make sure to get your money's worth by picking Norvig and Thrun's brains at office hours :P. And if you get an A in the course, you can probably do undergraduate research with them through CURIS, something that online attendees w
