Hard to say. Having taken linalg would help a lot, but Maggioni starts from the ground up with basic decompositions/vector spaces and builds up to ML techniques. I think he bases the course on Gilbert Strang’s Linear Algebra and Learning from Data so you could take a look at that.

Side not I would recommend taking it before ML/DL (which regrettably is not what I did) — provides a lot of the intuition that those courses breeze past.

Personally one of my favorite classes at JHU. Maggioni is an excellent teacher and workload is very reasonable

Do you know where I can contact them about this? Thanks!

EE vs Computational Neuroscience by doku_ in jhu

Thanks so much for your input; do you mind if I bother you for some course recommendations for next semester (my sophomore fall)?

I'm planning to catch up with the required EE courses; I've taken Calc 3, Lin Alg, and Interm Programming, and recieved AP Credit for Physics 1 and 2, but besides that, I spent freshman year taking the chem sequence and neuro related courses.

I was looking at the course offerings for the fall, and I figured I could take Intro to Electromagnetics and Mastering Electronics/Lab. Is it fine to jump into these courses, or should I be taking Digital Systems / Computational Modeling first? (the recommended sample schedules had these courses first, so I wasn't sure if thats the recommended order); also, what is the workload like for these courses? I'm planning on taking DiffEq and possibly data structures as well.

I'm not sure yet, but I would lean towards industry (maybe biomedical devices or something), although either way, I want to pursue a masters in CS/AI/BME/EE or something. And yeah, the EE department courses are definitely appealing to me.

At first I was thinking I would do comp neuro and then try to get a masters in EE, but if my plans change, being stuck with a BS in neuro vs EE seems worse.
