Thanks for this! This seems very interesting! Anyone else thinking of signing up later this summer?
Yes, tentatively. I've read the textbook, more like given it a first pass, and it's excellent. This should help me stick to a more systematic study. If the video lectures have no transcripts, that'd suck, though (I'm hard of hearing).
I'm in. It may be a stretch of my abilities, but I loooove the idea of competing against Stanford undergraduates.
I was initially considering it, only apparently it has stronger prerequisites than I thought at first. But will see.
EDIT: On third thought, some people are suggesting the initial CS background requirements may not be as tight, so maybe. Will be reading up on it more, (though possibly may also be busy during the months when the course would be taking place, so not sure)
Judging by the book this might be a steep climb but one without sudden dropoffs.
Mind clarifying? Thanks.
The book is very clear, things are not out of order, notation is consistent, and with appendixes the prerequisites are pretty much HS math. So even if the course goes a little fast you should be able to catch up with some extra effort and won't get lost.
Ah, so it doesn't seem to actually demand much in the way of programming background? (ie, I don't have to start out with a mental catalog of zillions of specialized data structures or anything like that then?)
Awesome, thanks.
