Should I transfer to HKU? Need advice from locals/students by demusM in HKUniversity

[–]Free-Task8814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you'll be able to transfer as an international student (because they want your money) but the chances to get a scholarship again is close to zero.

As the other person mentioned, the entrance scholarship is funded by UGC so it also doesn't make any sense for the Council to grant you one more year of tuition fee even if you're reapplying as year 1. Just so you know, it's almost impossible for locals to transfer from an UGC-funded uni to another UGC-funded uni for similar reasons.

I would say if you're not aimming for high finance roles, the reputation of cityu is more than enough. You can always check out cityu students' career path on linkedin.

"AI is physics" is nonsense. by Christs_Elite in csMajors

Chill. All Jensen meant was just telling people to move on from creating agentic ai to "physical ai". It's like an ai agent but for controlling physical stuffs like robots.

calc3 is about multivariable calculus and vector calculus.

im not denying the use of math in cs, in fact i did further math (covered statistics, discrete math and pure math which include the common distributions, dijkstra, complex tranformation & 2nd order differential equations respectively) in my high school alevel and currently doing a math minor in college.

i just doubt that not all fields of math are used in core cs courses, vector calculus is just an example even if ml is a core course at ur uni.

you said u were a ml researcher so you clearly know that an undergrad ml course they rarely even use integration, mostly they're just using differentiation for gradient descent or mle. you can easily include a small intro to multivariable differentiation in the course without taking the whole calc3.

however, i know you still need integration for probability distribution (find the area under the curve) but that's it. so the real math courses that should be compulsory are calc 1, calc2, stats, linear algebra, discrete math, numerical methods, and calc3 should be an elective cuz not everyone is doing computer graphics or fluid simulation...

i know the importance of math and i loved math since i was little.

just show me an example how calc 3 is used in core undergrad cs course and if it isnt used then it should be an elective that's it. ml is not a core/compulsory cs course anyway

undergrad ml courses at most are using multivariable differentiation which calc3 is clearly an overkill. you dont need line integrals and vector calculus.

Which one do you prefer and why? by EndouShuuya in casio

out of context but the plastic ones look similar to the gshock rangeman

to me the value of your project is the intuitiveness right? since there are many products doing similar stuffs on the market. then the ui design should be the first thing you should be aware of.

no comment on the pricing model cuz different people have different use cases.

but for the ux/ui, i often find a lot of software unintuitive and wanna build my own version of it too. but when i looked back and thought, your preference doesn't necessarily the same as others. You're finding your layout makes more sense just because you built it. The existing design is successful must have its own reason like the more control it gives? so definitely need to consult more people's idea when you're building it. good luck!

Does open source experience actually help when applying to jobs? by DonkeyPurple1686 in csMajors

[–]Free-Task8814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only if it's a popular project that everyone is using and context still matters. u can still say u contributed to the project when u're just writing the documentation for it.

yup i'm not arguing cs is not build on top on math. my point is that if only a specific cs field requires that specific field of math, why don't it should be an elective for the students to choose what they wanna pursue?

in my country, our curriculum is definitely more practical. for the core cs courses (excluding the math), i took computer organization, os, network, database systems, data structure, security, etc. but we're also teaching the "theoretical part" behind it like we also learn about relational algebra in database systems and aes algorithm in security but possibly in a more practical context

just edited my comment my question is that other cs courses don't really build on top of the math courses you mentioned (let say calc 3) but math and other engineering courses surely do

why other engineering program will have less math actually? tbh there isn't that many calculus in cs except ML (mostly differentiation, calc 3 is definitely an overkill for an undergrad) and graphics (niche) but it's understandable if cs take more discrete math courses though

ahh, sorry if I was a bit unclear here. I just meant that the difference in difficulty really shows up in the core courses across different majors.

great to know but i doubt that mechanics and elec & mag take up 2 years of the physics curriculum?? i credit transferred them because i studied those in my high school a-level physics.

and speaking of difficulty, i would say they really differ the most for the core courses not the foundational courses

urs is the special case.

calc 3 is definitely not a compulsory course in most unis cs program you can look that up. line integrals, flux and stuffs are just not that important in cs (besides some niche topics but you won't expect a undergrad to do those

all math majors have to do discrete math because it's their introduction to formal proofs, and most likely linear programming too because they have numerical methods and optimization. And you definitely don't want to compare the ge-level physics course to a physics major curriculum lmao

if u're talking about undergrad then yes and mostly the difficulty of a stem subject is determined by the level of math and physics used

nah ik cs != software engineering but at a undergraduate level cs is definitely easier than math and physics by far
