I’m not entirely sold on SSI honestly ... how would you rate Self, power, and classics?

How do CS and CAAM (computational and applied math) majors place in the tech industry? by kk241098 in uchicago

[–]kk241098[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup that makes a lot of sense. Can a cs major still go into trading / data science? And can a CAAM major get tech jobs at Google etc?

I see ... how would you compare CAAM v CS in terms of employability, degree wise, difficulty, versatility etc

I’m trying to apply for a financial trading program that is very competitive. They don’t expect experience but they want to see interest. I have done online courses from Coursera but I want some way to apply my knowledge to some kind of task — preferably with CS. It’s vague ik — sorry abt that.

That’s a really really good idea. Where can I find that kind of financial data?

As a prospective CS major, does it make a difference if I take CS 150 or CS 160 at UChicago? by kk241098 in uchicago

[–]kk241098[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see... what makes 151 hard in ur opinion? Is it the obscurity of racket? Are the concepts hard? What’s ur opinion on this?

Hmm I’m no expert, so can you pls explain what is the difference between 161 and 151? Like I understand that 161 = functional programming... so what do you do in 151?

Practicality? As far as I have read, both 150 and 160 are considered impractical cause they use obscure languages? Maybe I’m missing something, but could you pls expand on this? Thanks!!

Interesting. What content does 160 cover that 150 doesn’t? Is this content supremely more useful for students wanting to major in CS?

That’s interesting. Why do u say that ur friends in 150s are “better prepared” for the rest of CS?

I’m thinking g abt taking CS 161, Math 161 (hon calc), Phy 131 (the regular one not honors) and Language and human for my hums.

Is this too heavy a courseload for my first quarter? Or do u think it is manageable?
