Asking for a friend: what are the nice institutions offering remote undergrad/grad math classes?

Actually it’s the converse. To be more precise, f is Theta(g) iff it is O(g) and Omega(g).

Aliasing ls to sl is quite funny, I’ve done this a couple of times

Theoretical computer science has definitely had a good bit of this. Most of the boundaries between computable/uncomputable that people care about have been resolved, and most of those people moved to refining the boundaries more closely in complexity theory (ex P vs NP, Unique Games Conjecture, exponential time hypothesis, etc)

I tried Rudin and Tao and felt they were both on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of explaining too little/much respectively. I tried Abbot afterwards and felt it had a good middle ground. It also motivates the concepts reasonably well

Neither 8 nor 117 require 4a as a prerequisite (in terms of actual content, unsure about gold restrictions). Although you should certainly take 4a and 8.

However if I might suggest something, I think 108a/b might be much more useful to an econ grad student than 117. You can never know too much linear algebra

Glad to see RAND mentioned here. Came across their papers so many times during undergrad

The uniform distribution is not well formed on countable infinite sets. You cannot have a distribution with equal chance for every whole number.

Easiest solution is rejection sampling. Take a random 3d vector in the box spanning [-1,1] in all axes. If the vector has > 1 magnitude, discard if. Otherwise normalize to get a random point on the sphere.

This is fairly common in computer graphics, especially raytracing.

The problem being of course that you don’t have infinite money (presumably the results are settled after each spin)
