and if anyone still cares, there were some proofs in calc 1&2 and linear algebra, but we weren't expected to derive them ourselves usually or do our own proofs. That started in real analysis.
Generally there will be a question similar to the ones not in the solutions. Try those ones first and try to figure out how they got the answer that they did. Then just apply the same technique to the questions that don't have solutions in the back. You can also use wolfram alpha if you want...
think of it like the difference between chemistry and chemical engineering. There is a lot of overlap, but the focus in software engineering will always be on creating software, so there will be more of a focus on software design, software testing and debugging ect... Computer Science is the...
I guess it depends on how good your undergraduate university is considered. You haven't really said anything about that. I'd suspect that getting a 3.7 at a top university and getting positive references from professors well known in your field.
Also Isn't 3.7 very good? I'm from Australia...
Homework Statement
This is actually part of a probability problem I'm thinking about. I'm trying to find the nth moment of a certain random variable in terms of the gamma function, which is basically equivalent to solving the following integral or expressing it in terms of the gamma function...
I don't know how many people need to say this until it starts to sink in... but
Computer Science is not programming
It is so so much more. Computer Science has as much to do with computers as astronomy has to do with telescopes. It is the science of information, and you probably wouldn't...
As an example, say 10 computers are connected to the network through 1 cable, (and so only 1 can be connected at anyone time) and each computer needs to be on the network for 12 minutes an hour on average, then what kind of pmf would you use to model the number of computers that simultaneously...
The way I sort of see this to be true is to do with row reduction. You know that if you add a multiple of one row or column to another then you don't change the determinant. You also know that if the rows or columns are dependent then you will be able to get a row of zeros by doing this...
All numbers are concepts. Students usually get over their initial anxiety with complex numbers when they realize this. Yes the complex numbers are "made up" but so are the reals and the integers and the rationals... This doesn't make them any less useful and powerful.
The best way to think of why it works is as follows:
the average rate of change on f(x) between x and x+h where h is some constant will be (f(x+h)-f(x))/h If we take the limit as h->0 for this expression then this calculates the instantaneous rate of change, or the derivative at x, since we are...
I'm also an Australian, so I might be able to offer a little more specific advice, but in general, I feel like I am a very long way ahead for thinking about specialisations now, and I'm going into second year Uni next year, so you really shouldn't be worried or unsure at all. You don't need to...
