Ok, when I went to CC I only got an AA. Looking at it now though it makes sense. Just like people can get a bachelors of science in computer engineering. This was my mistake.
I guess the course design then would be tailored around the kind of worker you want to output. Do you want to output a JS front end type guy, or a back end software design and architecture person?
What would someone with an applied science in modern web development do?
Would they work on the algorithms for applied science in a server side language like php? Would they work in python/c++/haskell or something like fortran and hook into php?
I'd like to help, but I need some further information.
Note: I looked up this degree on google and the last result on the first page was this submission.
They're building out a comfortable development environment for steam machines. Which is great. When proper well documented tool are available, developers are less likely to shun a platform. If there exists a some GPU memory profiling software (not that a team couldn't competently create their own system) and keyword completion for OpenGL calls then I might consider switching over to Ubuntu for development myself.
This is, of course, throwing aside all DX vs OpenGL arguments based on feature support (which I'm not really familiar with at this time).
Wow, a series of probabilistic transitions between words has given us a mishmash of programming and bible gibberish. This is the expected result, but isn't even novel. You could do this with any N texts and get out gibberish. I much prefer markov chains as a way to produce music.
What the hell is Shadow Banking? Is he talking about derivatives? Futures? What kind of financial instruments exist in this Shadow Banking arena? This seems like FUD to me. I can only hope the econophysicists know something about the instruments used and how this system works, because the article writer certainly didn't do his own due diligence.
When describing something with loaded words like "Shadow", I'd really hope there was a basis for using it beyond the "I don't know what's happening and thus it is evil and reprehensible".
It's currently invite only anyway. So they're not looking to expand too quickly, then have an audience that finds there selection lacking and immediately and irrevocably denounce the service all together.
I could see this taking off around college campuses if they offered the service for technical books. If they offered math, science, engineering ect... they could have every student on campus paying ten dollars a month for a year. They'd also have my business as well. Sometimes certain books don't cut it and maybe one book covers a subject better than another, having to option to work in both without spending 200$ is attractive; even if I don't get to keep them at the end of the day.
Can they really include Math in the STEAM acronym? Any time something comes up that is supposed to get kids interested in the STEM fields they never actually bring up math. They're like "ROBOTS, LAZERS, isn't it cool?!?!?!".
If I asked any kid exiting these events what they thought math was or how it was done, 99.9% of them would be wrong. A lot of this is due to the fact that the presenters themselves do not understand what actual math is. Math is not intermediate algebra and calculus. Those are the product of real mathematics. While fundamental technologies rely on real math (von neuman machines -> CPU ) we never see this discussed at events like this and leave these very important details to be discovered at much too late a time. If they had a real exhibit on math I might consider going though.
With a GPU next to the CPU the latency between them is reduced, this is awesome for OpenCL applications. Imagine you wanted to work a markov model into your AI and you needed to a large number of matrix calculations to get it to run properly and you want it in real time, I think this might solve that problem. I'm imagining game AI improving with adoption of this style of processor. Anyone see this differently?
Except for the fact that some people, like my self, are getting furloughed and losing 20% of their pay. This includes everyone at my office. Shit sucks man.
" Windows 8 is so horribly broken that it should be recalled."
Now, forgive me, but you can totally enter into windows 8 from a standard windows interface (as I understand it). That and, data shows, people are becoming familiar with it. Put that onto anecdotal evidence that younger individuals pick up the interface just fine and I'm inclined to think you knew what you thought before ever using windows 8.
My simple retort would be, who writes the API? Do you have the time to wait for someone to do something for you? For most "mathematically difficult" problems? The trend, in graphics at least, has been to put more programmability in the hands of the user rather than restriction to specific API calls. Shader based work flow has fully replaced API functions that would have normally done these operations for you. Another thing is, how do you expect to be competitive if you're not implementing current research? I guess it depends though.
Then that is your particular FIELD. In graphics, we use it all the time. It helps to understand differential geometry and Brownian motion when working with real time and ray tracing applications respectively. I mean, all higher order analysis works on concepts of stochastic processes, so really we do need people to understand algebra (At the very very least).
In areas such as Ray Tracing, there is extensive use of Vector Calculus, Probability theory, and Linear Algebra. Where (having learned under Henrick Wann Jensen) the current state of the art techniques are based on random distributions of "photons" being stored in a "Photon Map". The math here can get advanced, from Markov chains to arbitrary Brownian motions started at vector position x (in R^3). So.... Yes, it's there. You just don't see any of it because you're not handling the hard stuff... you're handling API calls. What do you think happens under the hood?

If I had the mod points.....
This describes my friend perfectly. I will say though, he's a way better programmer than I am.

This is what happens when you have engineers attempting calculus without mathematicians around.

I'd mod this ironic and funny if I could.

Very carefully. .. it always got laughs and mean looks)
(A good joke in proof based math classes, "how do we prove this theorem, class?"

Assuimg VFX includes modern game development, then you'd be wrong about max in a very extreme way. Especially when Crytek uses it for it's 3D assets.

Lamar is also a part of the Christian Science denomination. Read up on what these people think, then get back to me.
Particularly more in mathematics since even the fields medal can't be handed to anyone over 40 years of age.
Even more silver back gorillas of the insect world!
I was about to go on and talk about tecno brega, but you sorta beat me to it.
For the curious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tecno_brega
Given they state this on their site, you're correct. http://rosalind.info/about/

Not true. Try asking boeing how they run their realtime models of their 787. (Hint: it's raytracing.... and not on a super computer).
