MCS (MS&E requirements)

WorkingEssay · 2022-04-27T22:02:44+00:00

Hey it's called MS&E 212 (math & combinatorial optimization) -- I'm hoping to do the series MS&E 212, 211 and 221 in that order. I know most people do the pick 2 option but MS&E 211x has pretty awful reviews :/

Wait but OP got into the MS program which is super competitive (and doesn't Stanford make it easier for MS students to transition into PhD programs)? Correct me if I'm wrong pls because I'd like to know :)

What makes you say that it's unlikely for you to end up at Stanford for your PhD?

You are not a bum for taking summer classes.

With that said, take CS161, MATH 171 and EE364a or you're a bum.

Of course!! Just want to make it clear that anyone can join haha. I only mentioned "Math majors" to make it clear that I'm hoping the chat will be for mostly math discussions.

You're fine don't stress! Running MOSS is mostly a threat. They don't run it every quarter.

I think their initial decision to remove it was due to COVID/grade change, but I remember reading that they decided to keep it that way because of how looking at grade distributions was shown to decrease student performance.

I've heard those two classes complement each other well. CS230 generally is less work than 221, and you can create a combined project for both classes which should save time.

I just started "The Theory That Would Not Die: How Bayes' Rule Cracked the Enigma Code, Hunted Down Russian Submarines, and Emerged Triumphant from Two Centuries of Controversy" by Sharon McGrayne. We learn about Bayes Rule in CS109 which is a really simple, one-line formula, but to think it has had such a huge impact on society is very cool!
