@Big T I was talking about the sentencing disparities between men and women earlier btw. Women get lighter sentences even when they are armed and attacking and unarmed man, a case in which, I would argue, the physical power differential does not matter. Women are always thought of as victims and even if they attack a man we ask what the man did to make them attack him. We dont do that if a man attcks a woman.

I didn't come here for your Set bullshit Travis. I spent a lot of time letting that knowledge leak out of my brain, and I don't appreciate your efforts to shove it back in.

Idk why the physical power difference matters so much

If I bunch some chick in the face I punched her

If she punches me in the face she punched me

Same intent

so thats not a legal difference but a practical one

haha @wolfman1911 should i bring back eigenvectors too?

Not written in law

But the judges make it so?

@scaevola ah, well thats a different subject. valid self defense claims would result in no sentencing.

look at bigTravis trying to make us smart... I doubt it

haha every little bit helps

I don't even remember eigenvectors at all. Though I suppose it's worth noting that I payed a lot less attention in linear algebra than in the class that talked about sets.

lol well to be fair, you would use sets a lot more often in industry

@wolfman1911 do you remember gaussian random variables? their PDFs are ugly imo

Gosh, you are throwing at me concepts that came from different classes years apart.

oh those were different classes? shit that was one class for us

sets, graphs, halting problem, stable marriage problem, inductive proofs, probability, counting, discrete and continuous random variables, expectation and variance, etc

modular arithmetic

RSA encryption

uh what else did we cover

packet loss

lol

markov chains

We had two classes that were the computer science department's 'discrete math' classes that covered stuff like set theory, combinatorics, and several other things of that nature, then we also had to take a seperate linear algebra class and a probability and statistics class in addition to calculus 1 and 2.

Yeah, a lot of those things were covered in different classes that were all required.

yea my community college did it that way, was much more palatable

here at UC berkeley they give you all of that in one class.

the prereq was calc 2. lin alg was a seperate class as well

That seems like a terrible way to actually learn it.

its a sink or swim class

its meant to weed out the undesirables

If you are jumping around from topic to topic like that.

they go pretty hard on each topic too

you need this class to declare cs. its one of 3 classes that you need a combined gpa of 3.3 to declare

The way we did it was that we had a class that taught you C, and then the next one taught you C++, and after that you were expected to learn languages on your own. Then after those two classes there were the two discrete math classes, and then most of the other classes in that department had the first or second discrete math class as requirements.

http://www.eecs70.org/ heres the class website with all curriculum. if anyone wants to learn some stuff

yea that was pretty much like my community college. it was java -> c++ 1 and 2 -> data structs. then you could take the math stuff at the same time

And our weed out class was that the guy that taught those first two classes was real big on watching the freelancer sites to see if anyone was offering to pay to do his homework assignments.

lol shit and here the homework was optional for grade
