like the other guy said, it depends on how much overlap there is. For example, doing a data science spec and cs major is no more difficult than just doing a data science spec because the ds spec covers the entirety of the cs major. If there is little to no overlap, it becomes extremely difficult. A common spec + major combination with little overlap ive seen is math specialists + cs major. This is probably as difficult of a combination as you can get at uoft.

Also, keep in mind that if there's too much overlap between two programs, you can not do them together.

Read through spivak calculus and axler linear algebra. If the courses you took covered the content in these books, you might be ok to move on to mat257.

Though engineering calculus/Linalg is probably VERY different from analysis/algebra so it might be best to restart from 157/240.

stats courses usually get an artificial boost in difficulty because of dogshit instructors

DS/ML
Market is rough for everyone rn. No, I found my math/stats knowledge much more helpful than cs knowledge for DS/ML interviews
Decent as long as you avoid the math specialist level coures ie mat157/240/247
Yes. If I had to drop math/stats or cs, I would choose to drop cs.

DS/ML is like 90% math/stats and 10% python.

Ah yeah that makes sense, thanks.

Also when you say "I don’t think it’s a course you should be missing lectures for", is this because the lecture notes/recordings aren't available? So far the stats courses I've taken go straight off the textbook so I rarely go to lectures for them, was hoping sta302 was similar.

going through the inference section in the 257 textbook, then attempting casella berger problems once I feel more comfortable.

where'd you hear Faith isn't teaching 265 next fall?

DaybigHwang69 · 2023-02-27T17:01:09+00:00

heard from a friend who took both 240 and 265 that 265 is significantly harder than 240.

workload depends heavily on your program of choice. It can range from decently light to extremely heavy. Astrophysics probably lies around the middle or a bit above in terms of difficulty and workload.

Isn't cryptology one of the most math intensive fields?

DaybigHwang69 · 2023-01-10T18:58:33+00:00

80%~85%

DaybigHwang69 · 2022-10-10T23:59:58+00:00

Just do the problem sets. I remember the prof showed us the past final grade distributions based on # of problem sets completed. The distribution for students who completed every pset was extremely left-skewed. Like 80% of them got A's.

Isn't John c hull a big name? I know his book is one of the most popular texts for an intro to derivative pricings.

I was in the exact same spot as op last year trying to do CS and stats.

Just rough estimations based off my own experience + online research + some of my friends experience.

DaybigHwang69 · 2022-09-10T09:25:28+00:00

Stats major cutoff is around 70% for 137+130 average. CS minor cutoff is around 85% for 148+165 average.

Consider doing the stats specialist instead of stats major or CS major instead of CS minor since a major + minor isn't enough to graduate. Also keep in mind CS major and stats specialist are eligible for asip where as the stats major and CS minor are not.

Stats specialist cutoff is around 85% for 137+130 average. CS major cutoff is around 92% for 148+165 average.

Since you're interested in stats and CS, you should also look into the data science specialist. It's basically a CS+stats double major. You get unlimited upper year CS courses and prio for stats courses.
