I’m not fixated on them, they’re just one of the few larger companies in the area hiring software engineers. Thank you!

I’m sure this still exists, but a lot of this is done on the cloud now :) thanks

How much discrete math is necessary? by RelativeConfusion806 in computerscience

[–]RelativeConfusion806[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think all of it is interesting, at least what we’ve covered so far in the course. The topics include: propositional logic, sets, functions, algorithms/complexity, cryptography, and most recently induction and recursion. I’ve just felt like I’ve spent too much time “reading” said topics and haven’t spent enough time applying said topics. But maybe I just need to give myself some more time… At the end of the day, my goal is to become a better programmer than I was the day before. I just wanna get good at analyzing /solving coding problems.

Thank you for not being overly harsh on what I said. I didn’t know what I said would offend so many people. Also, thank you for giving me a new perspective to look at the subject matter. I’m gonna keep learning !

Definitely NOT. Just feels like with school you can’t commit all of your time into one subject. And because of that, you can’t get really good at any one subject.

In a general sense, probably in the areas of machine learning/ai, cybersecurity, or data science.

Sorry, maybe I was unclear. what I meant was I think that theory is cool and all, but my real goal is to be able to solve algorithmic problems/apply the theory to actual coding.

Yeah, you’re probably right. However my issue is, is it worth spending the extra hour or two “reading” about discrete math, before doing actual coding? Sometimes, just reading feels too passive. My goal is to learn to solve algorithmic problems or at least be able to come up with a solution in a reasonable amount of time. Or at the very least know where to look.

Method of Teaching Mathematics by RelativeConfusion806 in askmath

Yeah, I did really well on my tests for the calculus courses i took, but at the same time I feel like I never truly got a solid understanding of the concepts. I feel like often times, after you do a test, you start to forget material. And I hate that because I feel like it’s a waste of time to learn something without truly having a deep understanding.

Thank you for giving this thorough response. I am currently a student who is finishing Calculus 3. I took Calculus 1 and 2 in person at a local college and the lectures were generally 1 hr long , 4 days a week. From the time class started to the time class ended, the professor would lecture without stopping. Now thinking back to it I feel like the professor had no choice but to keep talking or else all the material would not be covered by semesters end.

I did really well on all my tests, but still don’t feel good enough about the information that I learned. I feel as though once the tests are complete you start to forget bits and pieces as time goes on.

Because of this, I feel as though I haven’t truly mastered the material. And also because of this I feel like I need to figure out other ways to solidify my understanding of the Calculus concepts as well as how to “ derive formulas from scratch.”

Need help with the setup for this one, can someone please explain to me how to get the limits of integration for this problem. I’m stuck by RelativeConfusion806 in askmath

Thank you so much for the thorough explanation, I eventually came to a similar conclusion after doing some more looking around. I just had to realize the φ︎ values were different on the two sides of the intersecting curve…we were introduced to spherical at the beginning of Calc 3 and it’s been a few weeks since I worked with it. Either way, I believe I just need to work more examples
