Why do mathematicians and physicist use the words “elementary” and “introduction” for advanced textbooks in the field? Is it to flex intellectual powress?

Say I am enrolled in a CS PhD program but want to get hired as a quant. What math courses should I take to get the required background? Would I even be looked at if I had a CS PhD instead of a Math PhD?

In countries like the US it starts at birth. Families in rich areas will send their children to elite, selective high schools that cost upward $30,000+. Some of these schools have strong math and science curriculum and are considered direct

I agree. If you look at what a mathematician does they sit around and think. You don't have that sort of luxury if you are from a poor family and have to worry about basic survival. In many cases (not all) the people that complete majo

Jeremy, thanks for putting this out. I had issues with part 1, v1 with the AWS set up. But I had none of those issues with this course. As a beginner programmer the template provided via Paperspace is just what I needed. I've been wait

Okay, I will check in a week or so. Thanks.

This is welcomed news, thank you for the update. Can you link to v2? On the site I just see part 1, v1 with the AWS set up. This is the beginner unfriendly/outdated one I am referring to, and I don't see the updated version you&#x

As a beginner I cannot recommend this class in its current form. The first lecture with its setup walk through is outdated and I have trouble understanding how to do a work around.

How does one get hired to be a researcher at google? What job title or level would this be? How does being a researcher differ from being a regular SDE? What background are they looking for here? Do these people write code on a daily basis?

As a follow up: I want to pursue a math degree study. What course titles and textbooks starting at the calculus level do you guys recommend? I want enough math chomps to then go onto a PhD in ML.

What courses (starting from pre-calculus) should one take to do what you listed above? I want to match your recommendations to course titles starting with pre-calculus. List book recommendations as well if you would. Thanks!

Starting from pre-calculus what areas of mathematics (with book recommendations) should one study rigorously to have the foundations to pursue a PhD in Machine Learning?

If you obtained a degree in Computer Science and specialized in Machine Learning are you suppose to be able to answer these questions? What job specialization is this aimed for? Almost strikes me more as a statistical based interview.

Looks like he does research in theoretical computer science, applied to cryptography. With his academic expertise, what kind of industry jobs would fit his skill sets? He wouldn't fit the typical tech security job.

This report (and others) suggest companies are hiring those with non-CS degrees. If this is the case, then how do self-taught or non-CS majors get hired when the bar to entry is solving medium to hard level leetcode problems?

Cool!

IQ test results are not completely valid in all cases. Feynman was tested at 125. He wouldn't qualify for MENSA. It is thought by some Feynman may have done exceptionally well in the areas that deal with numbers, logic, pattern matchin

I am beginning to learn Haskell. Are there any good 'beginner' level tutorials to follow where I can actually build little projects along the way?

The response makes it sound like they were accepted to a MS program under the condition they complete undergrad courses. I am curious which MS program this is.
25.
by hackernewsacct 9y ago
What graduate program is this? Most MS programs I came across make you take CS pre-reqs before applying.

Thanks for the response. My question is how does fixed point relate to the incomplete theorems and decidability?
27.
by hackernewsacct 9y ago
Can you explain the fixed point idea more in a beginner way? I'm curious to understand the result.

Every reply to my parent question has been excellent. What beginner resources do you recommend for learning category theory and its applications to programming?

Besides crypto. What applications does Abstract Algebra have in CS?

You missed the part I said I wasn't claminig Uber / Lyft drivers had CDL licenses and mentioned I thought most wouldn't. Thanks for the downvote and reply to something I didn't claim.
