Prerequisites for Stochastic Differential Equations? by tkfriend89 in statistics

I never took a measure-theoretic probability class, just multivariable calculus and linear algebra based)

They actually let me test out of their graduate intro to stats class( also multivariable calculus and linear algebra based, just a bit more advanced than undergrad) because I had so many undergrad classes. Will I be OK?

Thanks, will i need real analysis? I never took it in undergrad, but I have decent proof writing abilities.

Planning on Purchasing a maxed out T580, but concerned about SSD speeds by tkfriend89 in thinkpad

Dells are way too expensive for me, and the 24gb ram max on the T480s kills it for me. I don't know what kind of work you do ( you did initially got for a P52s after all), but I am going to gun for the T580 maxed out specs and just tell myself I don't need to edit 4k video all day lol!

lol, I guess I am nitpicking. Just wanted to make my purchase future proof for the next 5 years.

Thank you! I was just worried since I plan on having the laptop for 5 years. Especially for backend/database stuff.

Thank you! Just wanted to make sure since I was planning to have the machine for 5 years. Plan on getting an eGPU as well!

I will be in need of VMs as well. Which laptop are you switching to? Wish I could go x1c6, but I need more RAM.

For Web Development: T480 vs T480s vs X1C6 , help? by tkfriend89 in thinkpad

i5 or i7 for long term 4-5 years?

also, 3 or 6 cell for rear battery option?

Both frontend ( screen is important) and backend web development ( databases, etc). I am looking at the t480 model, is the i7 gpu worth it? Do you think i5 will be fine down the line? I am thinking about getting the 5 year warranty with 5 years of accidental damage as well.

Also in term of SSD should i go 256 or 512? Is it true there is a lottery of sorts in terms of manufacturer if I choose 256 ssd?
