    Programs From CS: a MSc, or another degree?

    Hey guys, So, I have been reading the forum for quite a time now. I am confused on what to do next in my academic life, and came here to ask your assistance. I'm from Brazil, so we have to consider that the University system here is a bit different. By the end of this year I'll graduate from...

    Confusion with using which linux distributions

    I'm not sure a Virtual Machine is always the best choice. If one's computer has few GBs of RAM it could be an issue, as I have already gone throught. Everything starts to freeze, especially when dealing with heavy computation and programs inside de VM. It was a really frustrating experience. If...

    Python Is Leapfrog the best choice for N-body simulations?

    I have implemented this very same problem (a N-body simulation, which ended up as the solar system simulation). By the time, I faced the same issue of the planets moving far away from the Sun, and I was not using numpy (just "raw" python). The problem is not the precision, but the method used...

    Schema theorem for non binary sets?

    The theorem is not only based on binary strings, although the most common examples to explain it are shown using binary strings (and this also happens to GA's in general). But what the schema theorem really means is that those chromossomes (or strings) with higher fitness have the tendency to...

    What research basically is [in mathematics]

    Hi, I'm from computer science, which in general ways is a branch of math, and as well we have some misconception on What we research (specially on the more theoretical areas). In math, so far as I know, you can make research on both "areas", the more practical (applied math) which can be used...

    Do exams really reflect knowledge?

    I think that it does, but also it does not. In general, doing well in an exam means you did understand everything that was tested on it (or most of it at least). But it does not mean you know all of the subject (things that were not on the test you may not know completely). Alghtough, getting a...
