23:46:54 GarbageMan1: I've never taken a formal CS course before and do not know how to program :# Perhaps I should have taken something from EE instead. >|
23:47:16 GarbageMan1: Ok Bob, it's a fun class if I don't care about my GPA >
23:47:33 DizBobDiz: is it not just all proofs, gman?
23:47:50 Samatros: I will take an algorithms class if I have the time
23:47:56 GarbageMan1: Well, I know nothing of data structures ;|
23:48:14 DizBobDiz: that would be a little bit of a problem then I suppose
23:50:23 GarbageMan1: I guess the prerequisites also cover stuff like sorting/median finding algorithms and other basic stuff, but obviously I've never seen those before
23:51:15 DizBobDiz: sorting is probably done to death in the prereqs

23:52:20 Trafton: hello!!!
23:52:40 GarbageMan1: Yeah, I think the worst part is that I am extremely stupid and will probably end up taking one or two graduate CS courses next term :#
23:52:43 DizBobDiz: T! :L
23:52:44 GarbageMan1: Ben >
23:53:07 Trafton: I need a favors from a cyberfriend ;|
23:53:10 GarbageMan1: What ;|
23:53:37 Trafton: oh wait
23:53:39 Trafton: duhh
23:53:46 DizBobDiz: have you ever taken a datastructures course, gman? a first or second semester one might do you good
23:53:52 Trafton: easier way to get mail sent to my apartment
free samples!
23:53:53 Trafton: nevermind
23:53:55 Trafton:
BOB
23:53:59 GarbageMan1: Bob, I've never had a single formal CS course
23:54:49 DizBobDiz: take the course that teaches functional programming
23:54:54 DizBobDiz: it should be mathy enough to entertain you
23:55:00 GarbageMan1: Ok >
23:58:04 GarbageMan1: I really wasn't planning to end up taking CS all of a sudden but it's probably going to improve my marketability, especially since my intended field in maths is highly theoretical. But thanks for listening to me complain
