Throughout my computer science undergrad, I am disappointed by other students lack of interest and curiosity. Like how most show up to work with only a paycheck in mind, most students only ask, "Will this be on the test?" and are only concerned with deliverables. Doing only the bare minimum to scrape by and get to the next step, "only one more class until I graduate". Then the information is brain dumped and forgotten about entirely. If one only sees the immediate transient objective in front of them at any given time, they will live and die without ever asking the question of why. Why study computer science or any field for that matter? There is lack of intrinsic motivation and enjoyment in the pursuit of learning.
University has taken the role of trade schools in recent history, mainly serving to make young people employable. This conflicts with the original intent of producing research and expanding human knowledge. The chair of computer science at my university transitioned from teaching the C programming language to Python and Javascript as these are the two industry adopted languages despite C closer to the hardware, allowing students to learn the underlying memory and way code is executed. Python is a direct wrapper of C and hides many intricate details, from an academic perspective, this is harmful.
These are just some thoughts I've jotted down nearing my graduation, let me know your thoughts.

A space for data science professionals to engage in discussions and debates on the subject of data science.
First of all, this is from the perspective of an analyst who is more on the business side, so let me know if I'm completely stupid.
Why I'm writing this - I think many people underestimate the basic "boring" math and they just go right to how neural networks function or how to use logistic regression
Algorithms keep changing, libraries keep changing, domain related knowledge will (partially) change as your economy sector evolves and you'll pick it up as you go anyway...
Even whatever university degree you pick is kind of arbitrary, some of them might make learning math easier for you, but you can always pick it up yourself - even if you study something seemingly unrelated, if you're smart enough for data science you can self-study math
If you're worried about long-term job prospects and satisfaction, it seems to me you should focus on making your main goal to master all possible areas of math. Even the ones directly unrelated to your work. Because data science (and tech in general) is a lifelong study and you will keep having to learn new stuff all the time.
But if you know the fundamental math behind it all, it will make it much easier to learn new algorithms for example. It will also be easier to pick up the logic behind certain principles within your domain, as you'll get better intuition. Part of this should be learning logic (whether you count this as math or philosophy is up to debate).
I am just thinking out loud and kind of looking for confirmation bias, because I've been learning all the juicy ML algorithms and libraries, programming languages etc in the past few years. And I'm thinking I should have just focused on getting better at statistics, probability, combinatorics, discrete math in general... linear algebra... calculus... hell, even if you go all the way back to elementary school or high school, there are surely some topics you forgot and they might be useful to re-learn (like some stuff from geometry that you NEVER used but it could be the missing piece from understanding some stuff you're working on now).
Because all the stuff I learned a few years ago is already obsolete anyway. But math is unchanged for hundreds and thousands of years. And still useful.
So recently I've more shifted to the theoretical side of things. And it's made me happier with problem solving and I have less impostor syndrome. All kinds of different word problems are good practice especially.
tldr: Instead of learning 50 ways to do similar things, learning the underlying math - not superficially, but all the way to the fundamentals, even all the way to elementary school if you forgot something - should be better for long-term.

Hi,
I'm currently a second semester CS student currently taking discrete structures. I'm loving it so far! I've had an interest in computation complexity for a while now - can this problem be solved in a certain amount of time? How many resources would it take? Can computers even solve certain problems? It was learning about the P=NP problem that got me interested. Is there a book or something where I can at least learn the basics? Do I need to wait until I've taken discrete + data structures + algorithms? Thanks a bunch!

In Europe , most countries political parties across the spectrum typically do support Ukraine , with exception of Hungary, Serbia, Belarus
However, I saw Trumps comments about NATO and Ukraine and wonder why is supporting Ukraine a debate in US
Trump has a lot of support across Republicans too. What’s the reason for wanting to ditch support for Ukraine and Europe?
Is it just the US tried of financially supporting Ukraine with weapons or is there some link to Russia in the republican party?

A subreddit to discuss political science. Political science is the scientific study of politics. It deals with systems of governance and power, and the analysis of political activities, political thought, political behavior, and associated constitutions and laws. Postings about current events are fine, as long as there is a political science angle. Rationality and coherent argument are encouraged, whereas ideological flamewars are strongly discouraged.

CSCareerQuestions protests in solidarity with the developers who made third party reddit apps. reddit's new API changes kill third party apps that offer accessibility features, mod tools, and other features not found in the first party app. More importantly however, the behavior of reddit leadership in implementing these changes has been reprehensible. This sub will be private for at least a week from June 12th. For more info go to /r/Save3rdPartyApps/ ​ https://redd.it/144f6xm/
