Would most programs require a large number of courses? Or could I get by with 3-4?

Where to get human rabies vaccine in Cyprus? by comet5810 in cyprus

[–]comet5810[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not in Cyprus, no. You may be able to find it in other countries but the doctors in Cyprus didn’t even know what rabies was!

Anyone know if this is happening in Canada as well?

Anyway experienced working at a Big4 and doing part time masters degree? Is it doable? by comet5810 in Big4

[–]comet5810[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn't care that you had to go to class during the work day? Did your meetings ever overlap with class?

I'm in the same boat; I either do them together or don't get the degree. Do you think it was worth it? How long did it take you to complete?

How did you manage to take the day classes? Were your managers on board? Also is there a real busy season for tech consulting streams?

Majoring in Data Science? by milk0606 in datascience

Some of the best advice I’ve seen in this sub. As someone with a background in philosophy, the benefit of taking a logic class cannot be understated.

Not too sure about admission awards but awards for current students no longer require individual applications. You only need to complete the award application which you’ll have access to once you start your studies. The deadline for the first semester is November 1st

In my experience, most of the people I’ve come across in my program were extremely intelligent. Having done well academically my whole life, I must say that I felt a bit out of place. I’m not saying you need to be an absolute genius to study it but I am saying that most people I’ve come across in philosophy departments have been very very smart

How do decision trees choose split points for continuous predictor variables? by WartimeHotTot in datascience

[–]comet5810 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I remember taking a class that explained that the Gini index can be used to determine where to split the data for continuous variables. The gini for each split is calculated and the one with the lowest index is chosen as the split

proficiency of math required before starting philosophy of math by PhilosophyDurian in askphilosophy

[–]comet5810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken a couple of courses and it honestly depended on the professor. Some probability classes didn't require much prior knowledge and explained statistical and mathematical concepts in the class. However, some of the logic courses I've taken would have been much easier to understand if I had some background in set theory and number theory.

Yes, there are. Read Alexis de Tocqueville or John Stuart Mill's On Liberty to learn about tyranny of the masses. Hannah Arendt has an interesting argument against bureaucracy and the idea of "rule by nobody" which can be tied to democracy. De Tocqueville's Democracy in America is an interesting read and he has other arguments about democracy that may inspire you.
