>cs advisor won't waive linear algebra requirements for machine learning
Holy fuck is uni in America the fucking worst forcing you to take unrelated classes. I already had to suffer through the calculus series while earning my "diversity" credits listening about how Jamal can't do anything.
I wish I could just get trained through an apprenticeship with a company. I'm paying $32k a year for bullshit
Linear algebra is useful in like pretty much anything you'll ever do.
Colton Lee
If you can't do linear algebra or calc you will fail machine learning unless it's a brainlet class that teaches you to use frameworks and nothing else.
Nathaniel Ross
are you trolling? you can't do machine learning or pretty much anything mathematical in the computer without matrices and vectors
Camden Hernandez
>linear algebra requirements for machine learning lol NN's are literally just linear algebra lmao
>deep learning >basically gradient search algorithms applied to matrix multiplication >don't know what a matrix is >don't know what a gradient is
You'll go far, kid

Computer Science Degree is essentially a Bachelor's in Mathematics except missing a couple more math classes.
Makes you wonder why Jow Forums didn't attempt to double major in computer science and mathematics since people do double major in college and you can ask the department head or college counselor to appeal any restrictions or grant you a waiver to double major.

>cs is a bachelor's in mathematics
how deluded are you elitest retards? Most cs babies never took the first real undergrad math class (ie real analysis).
You sound like a brainlet desu. Math, after you learn your times tables in 2nd grade, is only "memorization based" if you don't understand what you're doing
Robert Collins
Holy fuck you're retarded if you cant do linear algebra.
Henry Jenkins
I did.

He's right though, most DiffEq courses not for math majors are basically just algorithm memorizing courses. You identify what type of DE you're dealing with, and apply the steps to find a solution. Whereas at my school, even intro Linear Algebra required proofs from the get-go (and basically served as an intro to proofs course for incoming science students).
