I think that its most impressive feature is how well integrated into the device it is. The overall tech isn't very compelling. It's interesting that it isn't running on the device itself for language processing so there is going to be som

I suppose for you it doesn't make sense but for someone who owns a kindle, paying $80 a year to get 2day shipping for any item regardless of price, a library of video titles available for streaming and if the rumor is true a library of rele

That's true I'm just speaking from experience of looking at many undergraduate computer science programs in the United States. They all generally require some "tough math", and I think they should because that sort of analytic thinking in

You're correct for general problem solving in computer science. However, in order to get a degree from most universities you have to have taken 3 courses in calculus, a course in linear algebra and a course in differential equations. To m
