literally so relatable. was the only person in my class i knew of to do an internship last summer and i absolutely could not stop myself from feeling smarter than everyone and constantly talking about it lmaooo thank god thats worn off
@@johnfedorov8089 I know Computer Science is about algorithm and pure maths, I personally also think it is way harder than chemistry but easy compared to Engineering
@guru gara I switched from CE to CS, but my best friend's in CE. We are both juniors, and sometimes learn about each other's classes. I have got to say CE is a better degree, but it is significantly harder.
Sounds like your Japanese teacher created an authentic Japanese school environment, where every student is afraid to speak and the professor is just self-indulgent.
Guess I was lucky ^^ my professor was super nice for the two years that I took Japanese ^^ though yea I studied abroad in japan and the teachers were pretty strict lol
Calculus deals with abstract math, and limits going to infinity. Discrete Math in simpler terms is Finite Math. You're not going to deal with a lot of abstract math, ... until your reach proof by induction, and the power series. Set Theory and combinatorics is involved but toned down and a lot more simpler. A lot fun, and amazing graph theory. Finite State Automata is included in the curriculum but we never covered it, at all! The thing is Discrete Math used to be a 2 semester long course Discrete Math I, and Discrete Math II, now it's just 1 course with all the content mashed together.
It's called fake math lol It's actually logic and knowing how to prove mathematical abstract theorems (like is the sqrt of 2 irrational?) and a little bit of set theory which is expanded upon in a database course
As someone who is struggling in the middle of their engineering degree, it's so inspiring to see someone with such a successful career, having failed classes. I am struggling too with my confidence in my technical skills, but I'm so happy to hear that two years is enough time to pull it back. Thank you so much for this, I did not expect to be so inspired!
Stay in there my guy. I failed Cal 2 like 8 times (no joke) passed Cal 3 first time with an A (by some miracle). They literally changed the CS major requirements because i finished all my CS classes before taking Cal 1.
Dude.. I recently interviewed for an internship at the top bioinformatics lab in all of Canada. The interviewer, like me, was a CS major.. and he straight up told me casually he failed a lot of courses in his undergrad.. totally normal
@@MrCmon113 I think it really depends on the university. Engineering is far more regulated in that the curriculum will be close to the same, regardless of which university you attend. However, for CS it's not nearly as regulated.. so you have universities which are EXTREMELY math / theoretical computer science heavy, and others who are more focused on the software engineering side of things, which IMO is easier than the theoretical portion.
Calc 1 and 2 at Clemson usually were the first class students take where they weren't prepared for or didn't know how to study the material. I believe that's the biggest problem since most colleges try to make you take your Calculas within the first two semesters. Hell, the two part class for Cal1 seemed alot harder than the actual Cal1 due to how much information they try to slam into it.

I am from Europe so all my film classes at university about European films, mostly Italian, because that was the what prof liked and his field. So I am like don't want to see these movies again.
Well, it is a master's-level class and, even among the postgraduate students, it's considered the hardest class of them all. If the curve wasn't crazy, everyone would probably fail.
Discrete mathematics is the base of how every device you own works. I barely passed this class with a C. I remember I went to the professor to try to raise me to a B and he told me you have 57 percent and if anything you should have a D. Our program is pretty similar however I study electrical and computer engineering. Great video as well!
Took my Analysis 1+2 exam yesterday (Basically calc2+3 plus a bit of topology for good measure (pun not intended)). Kind of blew it as well. But yes, this video helps (There's also one where he talks about why he is bad at math, which hits very close to home).
wtf man, i don't understand why so much people struggle in linear algebra, when i got approved i was like "easy, lol first try" but the approval rating of the class was like 40%
bro im taking cal 3 this fall and im already stressing. I passed cal 2 with a B+ but it was a pain in the ass to try to balance all my other classes. Got threes C's and a B+ in cal 2. Have to put in a lot of effort into these calculus classes.
This was interesting...in the UK when you go to uni to get a degree in something, you don't sign up to classes because there is already a set of classes that you have to do which is put together by the course leaders... I did a maths degree and I did lots of maths with a bit of computing...
Same for Sweden, but I think there are also like 2 or 3 I don't remember, extra classes you need to do for getting the amount of points, but that shit is optional so do whatever you want. ^^ but usually one does something that is in some form in the same realm of your degree to makes sense in job interviews ^^ or be funky with one really strange one 😂
Same with me here lol, I'm still in my first year and it's like a loop and I feel lost pretty much all the time because I have a ton of useless classes I have to attend and keep up with although I probably won't need them next year.
It’s the same here in the US. we have a basic structure for the degrees with the same classes but then there’s also paths you can take for specialization. and then of course there are electives. However the reason he keeps saying picking classes is because you pick when and by who you take the class.
Machine learning being the most curved course I can relate to this so much, I could still remember the smile we had on our face the first lecture and halfway into the semester 23/60 students dropped out, and professor had to make final project an extra credit to bump up people's grade and their confidence on their IQ & CS skills and that was still not enough, the prof just ended up purely using ranking to give people scores (top 9 get A's then 10 B's etc). What a good time.
I'm blessed I lived in Sweden, that we do not need to pay for neither school, high school or college. Seems like the big part of America or other countries is to worry if you can pay for college. For me, that kinda feels like the wrong focus of school and college. Anyways great video!
You are very lucky mate , my dad had to take an education loan to pay 10 lakhs for 4 years of engineering in comp sci , make full use of the available resources cause many deserved ones dont get it👍
We've got something similar in my country. You can get into university either for free, or for cheap depending on your ranking. The only exception is if you go to a private university, or if you already went to university for free once, then you have to pay the cheap fees they charge regardless of rank, something around 1000€ per year.
the discrete part was fun, because I was like in the same position after I took that course and tried to understand wtf discreme math means. I got it after when I took analysis. It means that the variables are discrete and not continuous: variables that must be integers, non-negative integers, positive integers, or only the integers 0 and 1. short: no functions with floats.
Hey Jarvis, I know this is probably going to get lost in a sea of comments, but I just wanted to say thanks for being so genuine about your career and the CS field in general. I discovered your channel yesterday and have been binging your videos, and gah, it's just so refreshing. Right now I'm a smol rising senior in high school, in the process of applying to college, with the intent of majoring in CS (not entirely set on software engineering, but I know I'd like to do something at least programming related) I've been surrounded by so many goddamn elitists - those who say I need to get into a Stanford or a Carnegie Mellon, those who say that I need to live in Silicon Valley to make it, etc.. it's pretty frustrating. But I'm glad to hear from a genuine person such as yourself, that you don't have to be the best of the best to make it in this field. So yeah.. thanks. You've earned a sub :)
Jaylen Steward yea, i was thinking that. Georgia Tech has only like around a 32% acceptance rate. That man could work for numerous companies solely based that he got a degree from there
Libby Madren getting a job in Silicon Valley is supposedly awesome for making connections, networking, and moving up in the corporate ladder (since so many tech companies' HQs are there). But living conditions are atrocious unless you're a multimillionaire, and you can find great opportunities and be successful elsewhere. Not to mention the rampant elitism and toxic "tech bro" culture in that area. Personally I'd avoid Silicon Valley like the plague unless you literally have no other choice And if you can get a not-quite-Ivy-League-but-close quality CS degree (e.g. Purdue, University of Illinois, Georgia Tech, MSU, University of Texas), especially if they have in-state tuition, you can get the same degree at a fraction of the cost. It's more about what and who you know, not where you studied
So I posted this above, but you may find this useful to have as a reply. I work at Amazon. Got the job right out of college. My school had a 95% acceptance rate and I have a total of 15k in loans. All of my coworkers are more than 100k in debt and we make somewhere around the same amount of money. Go to some small state school and study there. My advice would be to find a research group with one of the professors in the department. You get to learn stuff that you could only ever do in a research setting and it was the most rewarding work of my undergraduate degree. Ivy League Universities are great if you want to pay a lot of money for the same degree as everyone else. The rest is the same. The problem Jarvis had sitting in an auditorium as the professor spoke without a microphone won't happen at a state school because the classes are so small. The professors care about teaching and they want to help.
@@TheKurtPrice thank you soooo much for sharing this experience. I go to a small state school that is known in the area for it's engineering/tech programs, but it has almost a 90% acceptance rate. I went to the Google computer science summer institute last summer, and I was one of the only students of the 30 there who wasnt going to an ivy league school. It got me soooo nervous, but hearing this helps a lot. I'll make sure to get more experience with some of the research programs, thanks for the advice.
I’m still in my sophomore year of high school, and I’m thinking about taking comp sci classes for coding, and listening to this is starting to put in picture what I’ll have to do.
I graduated with a degree in chemistry and environmental studies-very different from compsci-but despite the differences in curriculum, I ALSO put off the higher level calc classes and didn’t do physics until the very end of my education!
I'm doing electrical engineering and messed up my first semester too (also got a 2.9) thanks to our favourite subject chemistry. Freaked me out so much and didn't tell anybody. Worked hard and got a 3.7 next semester. I'm still trying to make up for that blow to my gpa but this video helped me realise its gonna be okay. Keep it up Jarvis!
MY BOY JARVIS I think you're absolutely fantastic but god damn. You try to be really humble but you also had two internships, one of them at Google. You were top tier, don't try to hide it. You wouldn't believe how many CS majors never get a real chance at having an internship
Your course schedule was basically the same as mine for my CS degree, just organized differently since the classes I needed weren't always available. Like object oriented programming was one of the last classes I took, they only offered 1-2 classes the fall and spring semesters, and they literally filled up within hours. I also had to take a lot more fluff- art, music, history, geology, theater, film, you name it, I had to take it! This was a fun video, I wish I'd seen it while I was still in college lol I feel like I have someone to share my pain now.
I was curious to see roughly what my son was doing in his computer engineering degree. This was enlightening! Your sense of humour reminds me of his a lot.
I don't know why yt thinks I should watch this now (years after you stopped making cs&tech content/me graduating college) but this was cool. It's a realistic and helpful example of a STEM college degree. I may recommend this video to my students.
This is why people with degrees get hired. This dude knows his stuff. He may make it sound like the degree didn’t help him but my ass dropped out of school to sit in my underwear and learn web development. Guess what like 4 months later I am decent at it but put me in a room with a cs grad to code anything complicated and they will win every time
Nothing wrong with that. We all learn different, and you should take pride in being able to teach yourself. If you really to replicate, just look a cs syllabus and buy the books cheaper on amazon.
Tristan Ward your right the knowledge is definitely out there. Don’t get me wrong though I love this channel and the content I was just pointing out something that I have noticed.
TheImpetus no doubt. But I was referring to the calculus and the assembly programming etc. it’s a lot more in depth than someone who decides to learn how to program and then picks up python. They are learning the syntax and not necessarily the ability to solve problems. I know you can learn all that without a degree also but a lot of times knowing what you don’t know is half the battle, as in knowing what questions to ask. I would say that one that is self taught should also take some college classes on programming concepts algorithms etc. but definitely not Spanish.
Fair observation but also do remember that unis teach a bunch of other courses which are sometimes unrelated to what you'll be doing. If you trim away the bullshit, you can be at or above a CS graduate's level in a particular field in less than half the time. 4 months isn't enough to accurately gauge yourself.
This is so relieving to know that you made a few mistakes in taking certain classes and struggling with math. Man the imposter syndrome is real I got a 3.61 gpa for CS first semester and a part of me felt I should have done better. I ended up failing Calculus 1 2nd semester with a D- (bad teacher a 28 on the final 😂). I just retook it this summer for and got a C+ so I'm good. College can be a struggle but it's also a good time to explore, grow and learn from your mistakes. Update: 4/8/19 I landed a summer research position (REU) with free food, housing, and travel to work on a cyber security project in Michigan for my upcoming sophomore summer :). I'm attending my schools career fair trying to snag a Co-op for junior year. I was terrified of not finding ever finding an internship after applying to several places and getting rejected. Literally 1 month ago I had no plans for the summer and found out about this bomb opportunity through an email (applied to 15 of them and need recommendation letters for all). For everyone in CS and feeling discouraged keep your head up and be proactive in your job search. Make friends with your professors and socialize with your friends :P. Career fairs are cool too.
@@tbg6070 Comes from the fact that everyone from my family was near 4.0 student and went to a better ranked university. I'm go to an average school with an above average gpa lol. I've gotten much better at handling imposter syndrome and realize how silly it is and how much it was limiting my growth as person. I ended up getting a google interview last semester but I got no offer. Going to keep up the grind :P.
I love the way he is speaking so naturally like we are all there in front of him and he is trying to teach us so hard. Ty for that Jarvis i really like you!
Ayyy I just moved from Gainesville to Atlanta! Just stumbled onto your channel tonight (err, this morning?) while procrastinating building my new website, and it is pure gold. Thanks for all the great content.
I don't know how to stress this enough--I am a literal child with absolutely no interest in pursuing any educational/career paths remotely related to computers, or really any kind of technology in the near future, or ever really. I still clicked on this video. Watched the whole thing. Thoroughly enjoyed it. And watched it again. This is from, like, four years ago. I don't even know what I'm doing I'm so whipped for this channel.
Agree so much about statistics... I took AP stats in high school, then three years later I took an upper division stats course, and now I'm taking a graduate level stats course. Still not feeling comfortable with it.
In case anyone is wondering, discrete algorithms are able to calculate a result with only a few data points, instead of infinitely many (a function). This is useful for things like the png compression, since you can use the red green and blue values of single pixels with the discrete Fourier transform, which isn't possible with the „normal“ Fourier transform.
??? Your computer always works on discrete and finite inputs. And discrete does NOT mean finite. Discrete means COUNTABLE. For example the rational numbers are countable.
I’m pretty sure even though you switched to Spanish, your pronounce of Japanese sounds pretty good. I can see how you liked Japanese ! Cheer up! From a native Japanese
Hey Jarvis! Your channel is literally the only thing I have notifications on for at this point. Keep making videos please (comedy, tech, or otherwise) they are so good! Also when is Sad Boyz coming back?
That shit was my exact experience with Chinese at my college. Same angry teacher who would mess with students, literally 3/4s of the class dropped and about 6 students cried (most after taking the midterm). Flash forward a quarter and he got fired for bad student reviews, leaving behind only four students still studying Chinese in the whole department (myself and 3 others) and literally nobody to teach our next class. Thankfully we got a new teacher this quarter who is awesome, but it’s hilarious that this is seemingly somewhat common in language classes at schools which do not specialize in language.
I keep hearing this nonsense that taking unrelated classes makes one a well-rounded person. College is not supposed to make you well rounded but rather give you a very specialized set of skills. Becoming a well-rounded person is an endeavor of a lifetime and it's something everyone should do on his or her own.
@@svideos5754 "a constant lifestyle" You're correct, especially in this time and age when everything changes so fast. Staying well-rounded and up-to-date is basically a full-time job with no end in sight.
Dropped out of college after 2 years. Back in college 13 years later. The well-rounded argument is for students who still don't know what they want to specialize in. Having a wide range of subjects and courses available make it so that the student has a chance to discover what he really wants to pursue. Specialized degrees (the sciences) are for students who are close to a 100% sure of what they want to study and work for. However, it's also good to know that most dropouts come from these sort of programs. A good example is me. My suggestion is to never rush to college. I made it big in the business world without a degree. It's really about persistence. Although, with all the money I earned for myself, I found no inspiration to continue whatever it was I was doing. I quit the business world and pursued getting my personal life in order. After a rough journey to acceptance, compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude, I am now in an incredibly loving relationship. And then, it suddenly came to me that I wanted to go back to my studies. 13 years later, after going around the world, getting real life experience (working, earning money, relationships, connections, etc), I'm back in college - Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics. In the past, I tried accountancy and biology (but this was because my family and friends all saw me as either a Lawyer or Doctor of Medicine, not because I wanted to). If I was to go back, I'd want to pursue something I truly enjoy. Also, I enrolled to a distance learning program. I have found the self-study works better for me, and I am now enjoying my studies. They key concept here is balance. I am a student, a friend, a creator, a lover, all in one. From experience, the best way to live life is to focus on relationships. I can truly say now that I have meaningful relationships, the ones that I am worthy of. Many people will find it curious why I ended up going back to pursue a college degree. The answer is simple: "It's what I want." Also, I totally enjoy it now because I am free from the pressure of having to live up to the expectations of family and friends (peer pressure). Growing up taught me that what matters is that I have a choice. A choose authenticity, and this is why I am full of joy and passion as compared to when I was naive and confused.
@conacal rubdur I agree. They should be optional. It really depends on the availability of courses to you, since if they're limited, you'll be forced to take courses just to fill up the necessary required number of units to get the degree. So, yeah. Ideally, they're optional, but not all unis are ideal. This is why most students are forced to take a course even if they don't necessarily want to.
It's fascinating to know how much college is different between different countries. I took Electronics and Telecomms in Aveiro university in Portugal, and god how different it was... I know the courses are different from one another but there are common subjects such as Calculus (or in my case Math Analytics, which is basically the same thing but a lot more abstract and based on demonstrating the math itself, Calculus was way more objective and easier to understand, only my course, along with Computer Engineering and the Math course itself had Math Analytics, which sucked because Computer and Electronics definitely didn't need such a deep understanding on Maths, in fact you'd end up learning less because of how difficult and boring it was). Another common course among Electronics and Computers was, of course, programming, in the case of Electronics it was more embedded systems oriented, while Computers was more software oriented. But what really caught my attention is how much "freedom" there seems to be in America for which classes to take, it seems like you have a lot of choice including languages to help your GPA. That totally doesn't work like that here, I didn't get to choose any class I took until my 5th and last year of my Masters Degree, where you could choose 3 optional classes from a list of 20-ish, to which more than 10 would never really open because there weren't enough students. This kinda sucks because unless you've made your mind really early about what subject you want to follow for a career, you end up finishing college with a "general" knowledge of some things instead of specializing yourself on a specific thing. For example my master thesis was comprised Radio Frequency, Telecomms, and Embedded Systems programming but I ended up really just scrapping the surface of each of these subjects. My thesis was very acclaimed at the time, and I never felt like I deserved such praise. I did not only took one more semester than expected to finish, but the work wasn't quite as complete as it should've been, if we take the initial goal as rule. Also if we wanted to take language courses we could, but it would be a paid course aside from your college tuition (I didn't have any scholarship, to have it here you have to be in certain deficient financial conditions which aren't most times representative of your needs vs what you can afford), and it wouldn't count for your GPA or credit count. I took the highest level of English, just to have it in my CV, since I was already pretty confident with the language, along with the first 2 levels of German, just because I was curious about the language itself, and it could also open some doors in the future Unlike you I chose not to study abroad, but I had really easy access to it if I wanted to, I just didn't felt I needed to do it in the context of my circle of acquaintances, my closest friends and girlfriend were all there, and I truly believe the value you get out of it really depends on what way you value travelling and learning. On the other hand I deeply regret not getting summer part time jobs or internships during my college journey... My family was never rich but they could always provide for me with a certain ease, and they also didn't really push me to pursue a job before ending college, as a result of that I ended up having 2 of the saddest summers of my life, my girlfriend was working, my college friends didn't live close to me and my high school friends were all doing their stuff at the time as well, I don't think I've ever felt so lonely. Since then I have a job, house of my own, and I'm married, things are taking shape, but there's still a lot to figure out. Ah well that's my life for ya. Sorry for the long post, I got a little carried away. Cheers
Can you please make a video about how ADHD impacted your life during college and how you dealt with it/deal with it working in tech? Would be extremely helpful!
Hi Jarvis! This comment is unsolicited, thanks for listening. :) The difference between discrete math and continuous math is how space is portrayed. Pixels over a computer screen, for instance, would be a discrete space because it's not a perfectly smooth space, unlike, say, a parabola drawn from f(x) = x^2.
Now that he knows, he should treat us with a video on NP hardness, because I still don't understand that concept and I have been programming for a decade.
Found this on Wikipedia: "a class of problems that are, informally, "at least as hard as the hardest problems in NP"". Way I see it, hardness is to completeness what >= is to ==.
Discrete is where all the possible values are of fixed intervals, e.g. Number of Cats. You can only have integer number of cats 1, 2, 3... Each with 1 between them, you can’t have 1.1 for example. Continuous is where all the values can have an infinite number of values between them. Like how there an infinite number of values between 1 and 2 inches, like 1.11, 1.234...

Man this is so enlightening to hear someone else share their experience in school, thank you! I remember feeling like such an idiot in school, at some point i had to resort to taking Latin even though I already had like 3 years of Latin from high school lol. I studied math, and did really well in all of my math classes, I finished calc III freshman year. But I was struggling in absolutely every other class it always felt like. Simple classes that everyone else took and it was easy for them. I'm talking Geography, Religions, History, English, the literal basics hahaha. Now im trying to learn about computers so I can put all that math I learned to work, this gives me new inspiration for sure.
burningknight7 I agree. College is a business. I too had to take stupid classes unrelated to my major. It slows the process of graduating more quicker. And colleges makes more money. Also some might say "people need a well rounded education" so those classes should be a part of required classes one has to take... which I disagree and think is just not as nessecary.
I like taking classes like that - I feel like being well rounded and having knowledge about things outside of your discipline is an important aspect of getting an education!
for these classes, you only really need one course of each. if you look at the degree as a whole theyre maybe 18 credits of the 128 (at tech at least), besides its nice not to be constantly doing math
yeah its very irresponsible to be a programmer with little to no education in other areas. not the kind of person i want building the tech of the future...
Damn I finished calc 3 in the spring and now I'm doing physics I. I'll be doing diffEQ next semester along with physics II and some social sciences. Good luck dude just have to keep at it
I agree probability is hard 😅 and I’m a stats major… that’s why I am trying to make videos on the subject so that people get more comfortable with it! Thanks for the video!

Engineering classes are much harder though. And they don't get easier down the line unlike CS where most of the maths is frontloaded.
@@MrCmon113 I think it really depends on the university. Engineering is far more regulated in that the curriculum will be close to the same, regardless of which university you attend. However, for CS it's not nearly as regulated.. so you have universities which are EXTREMELY math / theoretical computer science heavy, and others who are more focused on the software engineering side of things, which IMO is easier than the theoretical portion.
weird how classes from different university almost perfectly line up
its not
That's thanks to ABET which accredits most worthwhile computer science degrees.
Well you're learning about the same thing, so the classes should be almost the same, especially the first 2 years.

Ok meme guy
Why is Calc 2 always difficult no matter the university? They called our Calc 2 professors "The Gatekeepers"
Calc 1 and 2 at Clemson usually were the first class students take where they weren't prepared for or didn't know how to study the material. I believe that's the biggest problem since most colleges try to make you take your Calculas within the first two semesters. Hell, the two part class for Cal1 seemed alot harder than the actual Cal1 due to how much information they try to slam into it.
They're used as weed out classes. If you can't do them they assume you can't copy and paste code.
Calculus is difficult, because you have to get into the habit of thinking in terms of inequalities.
Calc 2 is easy ...try Calc 3
Calc 2 it is super easy and Calc 3 and Linear Algebra math is so easy .

Shay Lempert nice sir

It's truly incredible what people will do with their time.
Discrete mathematics is the base of how every device you own works. I barely passed this class with a C. I remember I went to the professor to try to raise me to a B and he told me you have 57 percent and if anything you should have a D. Our program is pretty similar however I study electrical and computer engineering. Great video as well!
This is honestly such a relief. I’m taking calc for a 3rd time and thought it was just me struggling with math in CS. Thank you so much.
Tyler Spring search for "professor Leonard" on RUclips. There are full video playlists for calc 1 2 and 3.
Trust me you will not regret.
Took my Analysis 1+2 exam yesterday (Basically calc2+3 plus a bit of topology for good measure (pun not intended)). Kind of blew it as well. But yes, this video helps (There's also one where he talks about why he is bad at math, which hits very close to home).
Had to take linear algebra 3 times. No shame in failing as long as you learn from it.... twice.
wtf man, i don't understand why so much people struggle in linear algebra, when i got approved i was like "easy, lol first try" but the approval rating of the class was like 40%
I had to take cal1 twice, data structures twice, and computer organization/architecture twice lol. Made it eventually tho!
Discrete Maths be like:
*Whispers* 2+2 equals 4 👌
discrete math phd confirmed
*whispers* 6x3 equals 18
I'm on my third attempt of calc 3... pray for me. spending my spring break studying for this midterm that was pushed back by the grade of god
bro im taking cal 3 this fall and im already stressing. I passed cal 2 with a B+ but it was a pain in the ass to try to balance all my other classes. Got threes C's and a B+ in cal 2. Have to put in a lot of effort into these calculus classes.
How u doing?
@@anthonymikinka hanging in there.. midterm wasnt too bad... now its crunch time for finals
Anthony Mikinka update: I passed! Got a C! Barely but i passed lol!
conacal rubdur yes.. professor Leonard and PatrickJMT
This was interesting...in the UK when you go to uni to get a degree in something, you don't sign up to classes because there is already a set of classes that you have to do which is put together by the course leaders... I did a maths degree and I did lots of maths with a bit of computing...
It works the same way in India, except in the higher semesters, you get to pick your electives along with the set classes.
Same for Sweden, but I think there are also like 2 or 3 I don't remember, extra classes you need to do for getting the amount of points, but that shit is optional so do whatever you want. ^^ but usually one does something that is in some form in the same realm of your degree to makes sense in job interviews ^^ or be funky with one really strange one 😂
Same with me here lol, I'm still in my first year and it's like a loop and I feel lost pretty much all the time because I have a ton of useless classes I have to attend and keep up with although I probably won't need them next year.
Same for Iran:(
It’s the same here in the US. we have a basic structure for the degrees with the same classes but then there’s also paths you can take for specialization. and then of course there are electives. However the reason he keeps saying picking classes is because you pick when and by who you take the class.
Machine learning being the most curved course
I can relate to this so much, I could still remember the smile we had on our face the first lecture and halfway into the semester 23/60 students dropped out, and professor had to make final project an extra credit to bump up people's grade and their confidence on their IQ & CS skills and that was still not enough, the prof just ended up purely using ranking to give people scores (top 9 get A's then 10 B's etc).
What a good time.
Honestly, the way you present videos and how genuine you are is just the best thing i ever come across on RUclips. You're an inspiration, Jarvis.
I like how your degree is named "BS" in Computer Science
BS means Bachelor's of Science.
Bachelor of Science describes many programmers...
It can also mean "bullshit"
@@abhijanwasti7991 aren't those the same?
BS means Bellow Simple.
I'm blessed I lived in Sweden, that we do not need to pay for neither school, high school or college. Seems like the big part of America or other countries is to worry if you can pay for college. For me, that kinda feels like the wrong focus of school and college. Anyways great video!
I totally agree
You are very lucky mate , my dad had to take an education loan to pay 10 lakhs for 4 years of engineering in comp sci , make full use of the available resources cause many deserved ones dont get it👍
In almost every country dude, except countries in Europe.
We've got something similar in my country. You can get into university either for free, or for cheap depending on your ranking. The only exception is if you go to a private university, or if you already went to university for free once, then you have to pay the cheap fees they charge regardless of rank, something around 1000€ per year.
@@idkt-t9214 1000€ a year is still so much cheaper than American universities lol
the discrete part was fun, because I was like in the same position after I took that course and tried to understand wtf discreme math means. I got it after when I took analysis. It means that the variables are discrete and not continuous: variables that must be integers, non-negative integers, positive integers, or only the integers 0 and 1. short: no functions with floats.
Impossible to watch your videos without smiling.

Hey Jarvis, I know this is probably going to get lost in a sea of comments, but I just wanted to say thanks for being so genuine about your career and the CS field in general. I discovered your channel yesterday and have been binging your videos, and gah, it's just so refreshing. Right now I'm a smol rising senior in high school, in the process of applying to college, with the intent of majoring in CS (not entirely set on software engineering, but I know I'd like to do something at least programming related) I've been surrounded by so many goddamn elitists - those who say I need to get into a Stanford or a Carnegie Mellon, those who say that I need to live in Silicon Valley to make it, etc.. it's pretty frustrating. But I'm glad to hear from a genuine person such as yourself, that you don't have to be the best of the best to make it in this field. So yeah.. thanks. You've earned a sub :)
Georgia tech might as well be an ivy league school...don't be fooled... he's still really smart
Jaylen Steward yea, i was thinking that. Georgia Tech has only like around a 32% acceptance rate. That man could work for numerous companies solely based that he got a degree from there
Libby Madren getting a job in Silicon Valley is supposedly awesome for making connections, networking, and moving up in the corporate ladder (since so many tech companies' HQs are there). But living conditions are atrocious unless you're a multimillionaire, and you can find great opportunities and be successful elsewhere. Not to mention the rampant elitism and toxic "tech bro" culture in that area. Personally I'd avoid Silicon Valley like the plague unless you literally have no other choice
And if you can get a not-quite-Ivy-League-but-close quality CS degree (e.g. Purdue, University of Illinois, Georgia Tech, MSU, University of Texas), especially if they have in-state tuition, you can get the same degree at a fraction of the cost. It's more about what and who you know, not where you studied
So I posted this above, but you may find this useful to have as a reply. I work at Amazon. Got the job right out of college. My school had a 95% acceptance rate and I have a total of 15k in loans. All of my coworkers are more than 100k in debt and we make somewhere around the same amount of money. Go to some small state school and study there. My advice would be to find a research group with one of the professors in the department. You get to learn stuff that you could only ever do in a research setting and it was the most rewarding work of my undergraduate degree. Ivy League Universities are great if you want to pay a lot of money for the same degree as everyone else. The rest is the same. The problem Jarvis had sitting in an auditorium as the professor spoke without a microphone won't happen at a state school because the classes are so small. The professors care about teaching and they want to help.
@@TheKurtPrice thank you soooo much for sharing this experience. I go to a small state school that is known in the area for it's engineering/tech programs, but it has almost a 90% acceptance rate. I went to the Google computer science summer institute last summer, and I was one of the only students of the 30 there who wasnt going to an ivy league school. It got me soooo nervous, but hearing this helps a lot. I'll make sure to get more experience with some of the research programs, thanks for the advice.

Adding this to my "Watch later" playlist so that I can learn Japanese
I graduated with a degree in chemistry and environmental studies-very different from compsci-but despite the differences in curriculum, I ALSO put off the higher level calc classes and didn’t do physics until the very end of my education!
I'm doing electrical engineering and messed up my first semester too (also got a 2.9) thanks to our favourite subject chemistry. Freaked me out so much and didn't tell anybody. Worked hard and got a 3.7 next semester. I'm still trying to make up for that blow to my gpa but this video helped me realise its gonna be okay. Keep it up Jarvis!
Damn your journey is much simpler than mine. I've legit been doing 180s my entire life since I left high school.

MY BOY JARVIS I think you're absolutely fantastic but god damn. You try to be really humble but you also had two internships, one of them at Google. You were top tier, don't try to hide it. You wouldn't believe how many CS majors never get a real chance at having an internship
@Bryan Ong if thats the case where did u intern at? Im waiting.
He ditched Calculus III twice.
Not what I consider elite.
Your course schedule was basically the same as mine for my CS degree, just organized differently since the classes I needed weren't always available. Like object oriented programming was one of the last classes I took, they only offered 1-2 classes the fall and spring semesters, and they literally filled up within hours. I also had to take a lot more fluff- art, music, history, geology, theater, film, you name it, I had to take it! This was a fun video, I wish I'd seen it while I was still in college lol I feel like I have someone to share my pain now.
I was curious to see roughly what my son was doing in his computer engineering degree. This was enlightening! Your sense of humour reminds me of his a lot.
I don't know why yt thinks I should watch this now (years after you stopped making cs&tech content/me graduating college) but this was cool. It's a realistic and helpful example of a STEM college degree. I may recommend this video to my students.
I'm about to start my last year at Georgia Tech! I resonated so much with this video!
Same. I'm so glad I'm almost done.
I’m laughing this entire video 😂 dude is funny AF and I’m learning at the same time. Wish this guy was a professor.
Same here..lol
I wish there were videos like this for every kind of degree
That's what I'm saying. Most videos like these are about computer science
This is why people with degrees get hired. This dude knows his stuff. He may make it sound like the degree didn’t help him but my ass dropped out of school to sit in my underwear and learn web development. Guess what like 4 months later I am decent at it but put me in a room with a cs grad to code anything complicated and they will win every time
Nothing wrong with that. We all learn different, and you should take pride in being able to teach yourself. If you really to replicate, just look a cs syllabus and buy the books cheaper on amazon.
Tristan Ward your right the knowledge is definitely out there. Don’t get me wrong though I love this channel and the content I was just pointing out something that I have noticed.
4 months? dude give yourself some time to compare lol it takes 4 *years* minimum at uni
TheImpetus no doubt. But I was referring to the calculus and the assembly programming etc. it’s a lot more in depth than someone who decides to learn how to program and then picks up python. They are learning the syntax and not necessarily the ability to solve problems. I know you can learn all that without a degree also but a lot of times knowing what you don’t know is half the battle, as in knowing what questions to ask. I would say that one that is self taught should also take some college classes on programming concepts algorithms etc. but definitely not Spanish.
Fair observation but also do remember that unis teach a bunch of other courses which are sometimes unrelated to what you'll be doing. If you trim away the bullshit, you can be at or above a CS graduate's level in a particular field in less than half the time. 4 months isn't enough to accurately gauge yourself.
One of my presentations in college was about how Dio Brando was the greatest villain ever. Easiest A of my life I tell ya.
I wrote an essay on why Bruno Bucciarati was best mom, and I got an A.
This is so relieving to know that you made a few mistakes in taking certain classes and struggling with math. Man the imposter syndrome is real I got a 3.61 gpa for CS first semester and a part of me felt I should have done better. I ended up failing Calculus 1 2nd semester with a D- (bad teacher a 28 on the final 😂). I just retook it this summer for and got a C+ so I'm good. College can be a struggle but it's also a good time to explore, grow and learn from your mistakes.

I landed a summer research position (REU) with free food, housing, and travel to work on a cyber security project in Michigan for my upcoming sophomore summer :). I'm attending my schools career fair trying to snag a Co-op for junior year. I was terrified of not finding ever finding an internship after applying to several places and getting rejected. Literally 1 month ago I had no plans for the summer and found out about this bomb opportunity through an email (applied to 15 of them and need recommendation letters for all). For everyone in CS and feeling discouraged keep your head up and be proactive in your job search. Make friends with your professors and socialize with your friends :P. Career fairs are cool too.
I withdrew from Calculus I this spring and retook it this summer too. Good luck, man
@@tbg6070 Comes from the fact that everyone from my family was near 4.0 student and went to a better ranked university. I'm go to an average school with an above average gpa lol.

"I still don't know what discrete math means." I lol'ed. Worth my time watching vid.
In case anyone is wondering, discrete algorithms are able to calculate a result with only a few data points, instead of infinitely many (a function).
This is useful for things like the png compression, since you can use the red green and blue values of single pixels with the discrete Fourier transform, which isn't possible with the „normal“ Fourier transform.
@@Kyubocopter So it's not necessarily precise?
???
Your computer always works on discrete and finite inputs.
And discrete does NOT mean finite. Discrete means COUNTABLE. For example the rational numbers are countable.
@@MrCmon113 so would using series be an example of discrete?

Discrete means countable, discontinous.
For example infinitessimal calculus is not discrete maths, while graph theory is.

That shit was my exact experience with Chinese at my college. Same angry teacher who would mess with students, literally 3/4s of the class dropped and about 6 students cried (most after taking the midterm). Flash forward a quarter and he got fired for bad student reviews, leaving behind only four students still studying Chinese in the whole department (myself and 3 others) and literally nobody to teach our next class. Thankfully we got a new teacher this quarter who is awesome, but it’s hilarious that this is seemingly somewhat common in language classes at schools which do not specialize in language.
weeb spotted.
I wish i had it too here.
I keep hearing this nonsense that taking unrelated classes makes one a well-rounded person. College is not supposed to make you well rounded but rather give you a very specialized set of skills.
Becoming a well-rounded person is an endeavor of a lifetime and it's something everyone should do on his or her own.
Spectral exactly why should people pay so much when being a well rounded person is a constant life style
@@svideos5754 "a constant lifestyle" You're correct, especially in this time and age when everything changes so fast. Staying well-rounded and up-to-date is basically a full-time job with no end in sight.
Dropped out of college after 2 years. Back in college 13 years later.
The well-rounded argument is for students who still don't know what they want to specialize in. Having a wide range of subjects and courses available make it so that the student has a chance to discover what he really wants to pursue.
Specialized degrees (the sciences) are for students who are close to a 100% sure of what they want to study and work for. However, it's also good to know that most dropouts come from these sort of programs. A good example is me.
My suggestion is to never rush to college. I made it big in the business world without a degree. It's really about persistence. Although, with all the money I earned for myself, I found no inspiration to continue whatever it was I was doing. I quit the business world and pursued getting my personal life in order. After a rough journey to acceptance, compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude, I am now in an incredibly loving relationship. And then, it suddenly came to me that I wanted to go back to my studies.
13 years later, after going around the world, getting real life experience (working, earning money, relationships, connections, etc), I'm back in college - Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics. In the past, I tried accountancy and biology (but this was because my family and friends all saw me as either a Lawyer or Doctor of Medicine, not because I wanted to). If I was to go back, I'd want to pursue something I truly enjoy.
Also, I enrolled to a distance learning program. I have found the self-study works better for me, and I am now enjoying my studies. They key concept here is balance. I am a student, a friend, a creator, a lover, all in one. From experience, the best way to live life is to focus on relationships. I can truly say now that I have meaningful relationships, the ones that I am worthy of.
Many people will find it curious why I ended up going back to pursue a college degree. The answer is simple: "It's what I want." Also, I totally enjoy it now because I am free from the pressure of having to live up to the expectations of family and friends (peer pressure). Growing up taught me that what matters is that I have a choice. A choose authenticity, and this is why I am full of joy and passion as compared to when I was naive and confused.
It's meant to make you a well rounded spender.
@conacal rubdur I agree. They should be optional. It really depends on the availability of courses to you, since if they're limited, you'll be forced to take courses just to fill up the necessary required number of units to get the degree.
So, yeah. Ideally, they're optional, but not all unis are ideal. This is why most students are forced to take a course even if they don't necessarily want to.

I look back at my transcripts and think, "I took that?!"
I started to watch your vid about you talking about tiktok or celebrities, so it suprised me with this type of content:p
It's fascinating to know how much college is different between different countries.
I took Electronics and Telecomms in Aveiro university in Portugal, and god how different it was... I know the courses are different from one another but there are common subjects such as Calculus (or in my case Math Analytics, which is basically the same thing but a lot more abstract and based on demonstrating the math itself, Calculus was way more objective and easier to understand, only my course, along with Computer Engineering and the Math course itself had Math Analytics, which sucked because Computer and Electronics definitely didn't need such a deep understanding on Maths, in fact you'd end up learning less because of how difficult and boring it was).
Another common course among Electronics and Computers was, of course, programming, in the case of Electronics it was more embedded systems oriented, while Computers was more software oriented.
But what really caught my attention is how much "freedom" there seems to be in America for which classes to take, it seems like you have a lot of choice including languages to help your GPA.
That totally doesn't work like that here, I didn't get to choose any class I took until my 5th and last year of my Masters Degree, where you could choose 3 optional classes from a list of 20-ish, to which more than 10 would never really open because there weren't enough students. This kinda sucks because unless you've made your mind really early about what subject you want to follow for a career, you end up finishing college with a "general" knowledge of some things instead of specializing yourself on a specific thing.
For example my master thesis was comprised Radio Frequency, Telecomms, and Embedded Systems programming but I ended up really just scrapping the surface of each of these subjects. My thesis was very acclaimed at the time, and I never felt like I deserved such praise. I did not only took one more semester than expected to finish, but the work wasn't quite as complete as it should've been, if we take the initial goal as rule.
Also if we wanted to take language courses we could, but it would be a paid course aside from your college tuition (I didn't have any scholarship, to have it here you have to be in certain deficient financial conditions which aren't most times representative of your needs vs what you can afford), and it wouldn't count for your GPA or credit count.
I took the highest level of English, just to have it in my CV, since I was already pretty confident with the language, along with the first 2 levels of German, just because I was curious about the language itself, and it could also open some doors in the future
Unlike you I chose not to study abroad, but I had really easy access to it if I wanted to, I just didn't felt I needed to do it in the context of my circle of acquaintances, my closest friends and girlfriend were all there, and I truly believe the value you get out of it really depends on what way you value travelling and learning.
On the other hand I deeply regret not getting summer part time jobs or internships during my college journey... My family was never rich but they could always provide for me with a certain ease, and they also didn't really push me to pursue a job before ending college, as a result of that I ended up having 2 of the saddest summers of my life, my girlfriend was working, my college friends didn't live close to me and my high school friends were all doing their stuff at the time as well, I don't think I've ever felt so lonely.
Since then I have a job, house of my own, and I'm married, things are taking shape, but there's still a lot to figure out.
Ah well that's my life for ya. Sorry for the long post, I got a little carried away.
Cheers
Wow you watch devon too, ily both ur videos
Me: define discrete math
Google: it's like math but more discrete
Me: thx
Keep doing what you’re doing champ! Thanks for the amazingly entertaining yet informative video.
Hahahahhaha dude! How didn't you get an F for that presentation In the beginning?? I would have never been able to do that whadahell
I like how a solid minute and a half was spent on the Japanese class
DO NOT EVER CUT THE OUTRO SONG AGAIN!
I love that one
"so I switched to Spanish" after that skit got me LOOOL
When I took discrete math I had an ongoing joke with my friend like: *whispers* “What’s 1+1?” Shhhh shhhh!” 😂
Can you please make a video about how ADHD impacted your life during college and how you dealt with it/deal with it working in tech? Would be extremely helpful!

+1 i agree
Hi Jarvis! This comment is unsolicited, thanks for listening. :) The difference between discrete math and continuous math is how space is portrayed. Pixels over a computer screen, for instance, would be a discrete space because it's not a perfectly smooth space, unlike, say, a parabola drawn from f(x) = x^2.
And with that single comment, a thousand students sighed in relief at finally understanding what discrete math is.
Now that he knows, he should treat us with a video on NP hardness, because I still don't understand that concept and I have been programming for a decade.
Found this on Wikipedia: "a class of problems that are, informally, "at least as hard as the hardest problems in NP"". Way I see it, hardness is to completeness what >= is to ==.
Or more simply: digital = discrete, analog = continuous
Discrete is where all the possible values are of fixed intervals, e.g. Number of Cats. You can only have integer number of cats 1, 2, 3... Each with 1 between them, you can’t have 1.1 for example.
Continuous is where all the values can have an infinite number of values between them. Like how there an infinite number of values between 1 and 2 inches, like 1.11, 1.234...
Making a CPU in logisim was one of my favorite projects out of all the CS projects I did in college! I got crazy with it and tried to pack all the gates and wires so close together that there was no empty space. Bet the TAs had a fun time grading that one :P
"The professor was comically mean." 😂😂😂
Wow you learn these kind of stuff at Universities in America???
I attended university in India and learned absolutely nothing related to computer science
(I have a computer science degree though)
that is exactly why we produce so many unskilled and jobless engineers every year.
Really? What classes did you have then? And what all languages did you have to learn for CS?
@@Meraki-Me we do learn every subject related to computer science but its not so much "learning" or acquiring skills as it is just mugging up to pass your theory exams as we barely get any practical knowledge. In short, our education system sucks balls
Oh that’s sad... what use is the theory knowledge when there is no opportunity to use it practically
If you don’t mind what is the name of your uni? Is it a private or public institution? I heard IIT is very famous
@@Meraki-Me I need to accrue relevant skills from the ground up and I am kinda confused what to start with given how many options there are these days.
I took a GCSE CS knowing nothing but now I can program fully :)
Thanks for that. I am a freshman in CSBS and I know nothing about coding.
having an option to not take chemistry, this uni must have been heavenly *cries in periodic table*
pray for our kindred that suffer biology
"normal line"
*pause*
*zooms in a bit to jarvis' face*
"comedy"
Man this is so enlightening to hear someone else share their experience in school, thank you!
I remember feeling like such an idiot in school, at some point i had to resort to taking Latin even though I already had like 3 years of Latin from high school lol.
I studied math, and did really well in all of my math classes, I finished calc III freshman year.
But I was struggling in absolutely every other class it always felt like. Simple classes that everyone else
took and it was easy for them. I'm talking Geography, Religions, History, English, the literal basics hahaha.
Now im trying to learn about computers so I can put all that math I learned to work, this gives me new inspiration for sure.
Calc 2 was the only class I failed in my computer science degree at Georgia Tech
Man it seems in US you waste a lot of time on useless things. why do you need health , language and psych classes in CS degree?
burningknight7 I agree. College is a business. I too had to take stupid classes unrelated to my major. It slows the process of graduating more quicker. And colleges makes more money. Also some might say "people need a well rounded education" so those classes should be a part of required classes one has to take... which I disagree and think is just not as nessecary.
yeah , I think you are correct.
I like taking classes like that - I feel like being well rounded and having knowledge about things outside of your discipline is an important aspect of getting an education!
for these classes, you only really need one course of each. if you look at the degree as a whole theyre maybe 18 credits of the 128 (at tech at least), besides its nice not to be constantly doing math
yeah its very irresponsible to be a programmer with little to no education in other areas. not the kind of person i want building the tech of the future...
This is the first video I ever watched from Jarvis. Who knew he would be where he is today. I subscribed for the tech tips and stayed for the laughs.
Unironically, Jarvis talking about computer engineering is hot AF
I’m concerned for you Rose.
@@CIPHERINATOR why 😭😭😭
Calc 1 = easy
Calc 2 = getting rammed in your @$$ by a spiked steel rod
Calc 3 = not too bad
Yes, the struggle is real...love your twist and actually made it funny...nice vid
I'm applying to Georgia Tech as a CS major soon and I am so nervous!
Good luck!
Hope you get in!
Good luck :)!
Taking Calc III, C++, Physics II and Engr 101. God help me.
Mohamed Ali good luck man
Thanks man. The semester is already killing me lol
Damn I finished calc 3 in the spring and now I'm doing physics I. I'll be doing diffEQ next semester along with physics II and some social sciences. Good luck dude just have to keep at it
sam Knocking out physics I last semester is helping me out now understand some Calc III concepts. I’ll be taking DE next semester.
If you are at a university, then my heart goes out to you. If you are at a community collegr, the professors should be more lenient than most.
I agree probability is hard 😅 and I’m a stats major… that’s why I am trying to make videos on the subject so that people get more comfortable with it! Thanks for the video!
Bro, I just finished my second semester of Japanese at college. The way you described your experience with Japanese at GTech is comedically accurate.
