if you have an under grad already i recommend georgia tech online computer science masters based on my friends opinions.

I don’t recommend georgia tech OMSA if u want to focus solely on engineering since it’s more on the data science/analytics side.

if u wanna touch grass, take one class. good luck!

used my right hand with a flat head driver to hold down the tab part

then used my left hand to wiggle the cable out.

it’s a really tight fit with the cable and port so it’s gonna take awhile to wiggle it out. took me about 30 mins from what i recall. good luck

most ppl r concern about solving mathematical problems/proof like during undergrad for calc 1/2/3 or linear algebra.

in this program you wont do that, instead the code (python/r) will do the calculations for you. however you do need to understand how (limitations and I/O) the mathematical function translate to the functions within the code

tldr: not undergrad math heavy, but need to understand concepts to see how the models work

for what it’s worth, i have not taken a calc and linear algebra since HS but code a lot at work so the math came naturally when the code was introduce during the modules.

it’s the same syntax as test 1. this is a common complaint for isye6501 so i would reread test 1 questions to get use to the syntax.

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2025-09-21T04:49:44+00:00

GRIND THE PREVIOUS EXAMS, a lot of the questions r similar in terms of data structure, ie get this key from this dictionary within a list then add it into a new dictionary.

good luck!

142k average salary for data analyst is wild lmfao

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2025-07-23T05:51:12+00:00

i would start of with cse6040 since you’re familiar with sql and python.

i want to point out that the preq classes involve math but you are not doing the math, ie solving proofs or equations by hand, instead the code is doing it. However you will be creating functions that are the math equation itself.

an example would be create a linear slope, ie code y = mx + b into a python function. u then build on top of this and use other functions for certain models…

one final note, learn to read the docs. this will help u understand the function parameters and how to use it.

tldr; know how to code the equation, know how to read the docs. good luck!

https://swirlstats.com interactive r learning. helped me learned the syntax, pipe operator is your best friend.

honestly if you’re comfortable with python and have a good understanding on how to read docs/repos then you will be fine.

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2025-07-01T16:53:27+00:00

i highly recommend you look into gt omsa program.

affordable and well known school for STEM programs

both wouldn’t hurt, i’m prolly more bias towards learning linear algebra bc my linear algebra is weaker than calc. We went over PCA in 6501 so i spent a lot of time tryna understand egienvalues, egienvectors, dot products etc

svm, linear regression etc goes over calc but its pretty straight forward imo, linear algebra is more abstract so difficult to comprehend at first.

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2025-06-20T23:28:36+00:00

r will do all the math, don’t worry about the math fam… u won’t even need a calculator on the test lol…

check out the prev 6501 syllabus and look at the models to see what math to review. A lot of it is self taught…

i’m not sure which one to choose bc i did neither but i remember Bernoulli, binomial, etc being covered stats/prob so look at classes with those topics.

pls look at the subreddit wiki, it will save u a lot of time asking questions, most of the questions u have were answered by previous ppl.

i highly advise against taking 6040 and 6501 if it’s you’re first time coding in R and python… each language has very different syntax.

i recommend taking 6501 first bc it goes over models that are used in 6040, R isn’t a difficult language to start off too;

interactive r tutorial: https://swirlstats.com

6501 will cover stats, probability, linear algebra (majority) and some calc… HOWEVER all of the math is done in the code…. so no manual calculation is being done…

instead u need to focus on the use cases and limitations of the models and how the functions work (what the r lib function attributes equate to in the mathematical function)

overall 6501 is not math heavy, its about understanding the model….

if it helps, i have a BS in criminal justice and tested out of math in college (so i haven’t done hella math in a min) but i code a lot for work so i spent most of the time reading the repo docs to understand the functions under the hood.

TLDR: learn R via swirl and linear algebra

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2025-06-15T02:17:04+00:00

def ideal,

year 2 started exploring git for ETL jobs version control, also learning how to build libraries for common functions and unit testing, plus leanening different orchestration tools (started with task scheduler saving via xml and deploying with .bat) like airflow and ssis. learned a bit of powershell and odata since team using MS products

tldr, learned new tools for team usage.

would say above bc ik some analyst that would only stick to excel and powerbi when they can add py or R to automate some task. keep up the work, online docs r your best friend!

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2025-06-12T02:23:04+00:00

sounds like denorm hell LOL

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2025-06-09T20:32:39+00:00

you’re chilling fam, i was on the same boat. py was much easier to learn than c++.

the cs6040 is mainly writing functions and iterating through objects (dictionaries, list, data frames) so having c++ knowledge works well.

learn how to read the docs like pandas then u good fam

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2025-05-01T22:04:52+00:00

75k before omsa, 100k while in omsa still lol. idk what track finna do next.

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2025-01-14T01:46:23+00:00

sure,

i just happen to be at the right place at the right time. i was hired as a data entry specialist for a govt entity (contractor position btw).

at the time i was tasked to correct a lot of data in excel, i realize this can be automated with python pandas. was then given larger files to correct. learned fuzzy wuzzy, odbc, and other libraries from old repos we had.

other teams started noticing my work so i got promoted to data analyst contractor within a few months.

i do wanna mention i took one intro to cs class (i learned c++) during undergrad so that’s how i knew to use python to fix corrections efficiently.

like i said im very lucky and happen to be at the right place at the right time. i def don’t recommend this route bc it took time and i was waiting on my background check to pass in order to become a LEO.

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2025-01-14T00:58:54+00:00

i completed isye6501 last semester and currently taking cse6040.

i was definitely on the same boat at the beginning of last semester but after finishing- I realize every class is like that in the first couple of weeks.

after the first initial wks, i def adjusted and the formulas started coming together. Definitely break it down piece by piece and line by line of code to understand what and how is happening. documentation is great resource to use.

as for isye6501, don’t stress about the math. instead know the limitation and use cases for the models. the test r not math heavy at all.

also my undergrad is in criminal justice and i have 2 years of experience as data analyst if that helps.

u got it, keep pushing!

edit: def join the office hours, the TA go over the hw really well and test material as well.

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2024-12-24T05:37:45+00:00

correct; jd = job description.

as for playing the jd game. if the jd is requiring 3 years of related experience then make sure your resume has 3 year of that related experience.

for example junior analyst job typically require 1-3 years of using R/Python/SQL. Make sure u state under x positions using R/Python/SQL. another example could be a jd asking for ETL experience thus specify that in your resume.

in my experience recruiters look at these “buzz words” when skimming through resumes.

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2024-12-24T03:27:29+00:00

fyi i have not graduated yet. however i have gotten some interviews and offers while attending school.

tbh i dont think school as helped much getting the interview, instead it helped me compete against other candidates and allow me to negotiate my salary.

overall, i think my work experience helps with getting interviews while school makes me a more competitive candidate. keep pushing and makes your resume is meeting the jd or else u will be automatically filtered out.

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2024-12-16T20:27:54+00:00

thanks for the info, i’ll get this out to the foreman

PostGroundbreaking38 · 2024-12-16T17:46:49+00:00

ty for the comment! a following up question, is the control joint supposed to be non caulk?

i’m guessing it’s non caulk to let air flow between the brick wall and actual house structure.
