Road to Computer Science - Updates (again)

-
Hello everyone, happy to write here again

After some testing and feedbacks from friends, i'll re-do the road to a free computer science, with updates from the platforms (Edx, Udacity & Coursera, fyi) and how to work on  'em again

Freshman - Fall

The fall season is usually the first time of the college years. So, 101 and introductory course are usually in the curricula. A cs background has many mandatory courses to do:

The first part is SOMEWHAT easy (i'm not saying it's easy, i'm saying is easier compared to the remaining part of the bachelor). If you struggle with math and physics, just use khanacademy and simply follow some physics and math tutorials. They're really usefull


Freshman - Spring

Spring season, tough. tough a lot. Here are the courses:


Sophomore - Fall

Again, the sophomore fall course is really hard, which introduces a lot of important topics.
An important thing to say. On Edx now, many MITx courses are now not self-placed, so you actually can't do the weekly homeworks on the platform, due to the fact that they're simply not on Edx. Instead, you can go to the MIT OCW site and search for the exercises. For the computer architecture one you can find'em here.  The courses are:



Sophomore - Spring

Let's just dig into the exams

Another interesting course (not sure if it's needed tho is a software architecture and design course, here)

Junior - Fall

Junior - Spring


From now on, i don't really know what to do sincerely. many other interesting topics can be covered tbh.
Things like linear integer programming, differential linear equations, convex optimisation, HPC architecture, apporximation algorithm and surely many other things that i don't really know about now.

See you soon :)

Exam Review – Design and Analysis of Algorithms (Stanford – part 1)

-
Oh oh oh, merry Christmas to everyone! Luckily for me, i’m not Santa, but i want to give you a gift anyway! (obviously, it’s just another review). Today, the topic is design and analysis of algorithms, and i’m reviewing this MOOC built by Stanford The Course First of all, let me say that this course is terrific good and challenging. I spent, somehow, more than 100 hours on this course, counting the weekly programming assignments. The course is 7 weeks long (with the final exam), but it feels endless, for real. The topics covered are a mixture between a design and analysis standard course (which is usually strongly related to mathematic analysis of algorithms, but i can be wrong) and an usual data structure and algorithms course. The topics covered starts from basic sorting operations to hash tables and functions in the sixth week. I found it really useful for a further understanding of ds & a and for a recap too. summarizing, i really liked it The lectures Tim Roughgarden (the lect...

I'M BACK BITCHEEEESS

Hi everyone. Long time no see So, guess what, i'm back, and i've got some really spicy updates. First of all, my disease got better. I'm still sick, but now it's manageable Second, i'm still (obviously) studying comp sci, but, due to my gradutation (yep, i'm now an undergratue in biotechnology) i'm a little bit less consistent (i promise i'll be back on track) What to do right now Well, right now, what i wanna keep on going with my bachelor. Many exams are waiting for me (i'm currently studying stanford design and analysis of algorithms, which is a tough course), like differential equations, statistics, software construction and many others. Right now, i think what i wanna study more is differential equations, due to some strong connections to some biological things and models, so it's really interesting to me. Another thing that's really nice is functional programming, mostly for learning really well programming fundamentals Due...

Exam Review – MIT’s 6.00.2x (Comp. thinking and data science)

-
Merry christman and happy new year to everyone reading this post!!! (i was a bit late, i know, sorry about that). And today is Saturday. A really meh day. The most mehest day of the week (inb4 sunday). I don’t really want to study (dunno really why, truly) molecular biology, so here i am to review another mooc! Today i’m reviewing the MITX 6.00.2x, also known as Introduction to Computational Thinking and Data Science . The course (as the previous one) has been made by MIT (love you all again guys, keep rocking). As the previous, the course was (imo) HARD, but let’s go to the points. Course Format Let’s start saying that the course was divided in 2 parts: one focused on statistic (with monte carlo simulations, plotting, stocastical thinking, ecc…), and the other part was an introduction in data structure (course that i will take in march), with hash tables, trees, graphs and other structures. The course (as the previous) was divided in week (8), and every week has a specific asignment (...
