Theory of Computation for us was a whole separate class, in fact we had theory of computation and algos on the same level and we only needed one, so I haven't taken theory of computation.
when you feel the urge that you need to study you will study till your mind feels like your good. (in my case). I have gone consistently 12 hours aday for 6 days straight when i look back on it i really dont know how i did that but it was just some flowstate.
@@EatingWaffles It’s hard to say that I’ve “never” used discrete math. I think it’s all about a foundation in the way we think about engineering processes and logical thinking. The ability to use the ideas and thinking process from discrete math in your own work is, I think, the real benefit in most software engineer roles. The actual math of it though, and diagrams, etc, is rarely used in my experience. Actually trying to learn it though will help you tremendously!
I'm a high school senior getting ready to go to Texas A&M for engineering. Any general advice you have that you wish you knew? regarding uni, careers, the future etc?
@@Jacob-lm1cs Depends on the engineering. But, as best as you can, I'd recommend: -Use every resource at your disposal (Google, RUclips, professors, tutors, create study groups, etc) to learn and study the material for your classes (it'll suck at times, but you will not regret it when you leave college) -Professors, TAs, and Tutors are there FOR YOU. YOU ARE PAYING FOR THEM. My biggest regret is not going to more office hours and getting to know professors until too late. There are no dumb questions, and they are EXPERTS in their field trying to help you! -Depending on your major, some fields are saturated- so do stuff in uni to stand out. Clubs, projects, make connections, but also enjoy your time! Just make the most of it. Don't waste it. It's expensive, worth it, full of resources, lots of things to do and people to meet. Good luck!
I was actually failure for maths in school days, but in uni, I was able to ace discrete math, probability and statistics, and even theory of computation... I just had to open the damn textbook.
This is honestly the problem a lot of high school and uni students have. The courses are made to be passable, they're not trying to fuck over your future. All you have to do is put in the effort to understand the material.
As a CS grad from 2019, I was happy that I could still do the first problem. It’s funny in retrospect how Automata and Discrete classes actually do matter a lot (students usually feel like they are weird classes). They make you better at general problem solving, and at thinking of programs as a set of states, instead of processes or tasks. Best of luck on your finals.

Can someone coherently explain why willpower is not considered genetical? Like, yeah, I understand that mastery is 5% talent and 95% work, that all geniuses worked their ass off, and technically, i can as well. But to start working you ass off, you need to have basic amount of descipline to not fail immediately and be consistent. And to even start developing your discipline, you need to have some basic amount of will power, which is either genetical, or built in childhood by your parents in case they're strict. And examples of people who lack this "basic willpower" are seen everywhere: Failed student, alcohol/smoking/porn addicts, obeese people. Each one of them perfectly understands that whetever they're onto is bad, yet cannot help themselves but to continue. Why so?? If you ask each one of them, it will turn out they all want to be fit/educated/healthy, but for some reason ultimately fail. How can you explain that? That "they dont ACTUALLY want it"? Well, its still not their fault, because you arent choosing what you want, it is a collective of you genes and past experience/ circumstances. People often equate the physical ability to do something to an actual feasibility of it. Physically, you can jump of the rooftop right now, but there is ~0% chance you will be able to overcome your self-preservation instinct. Same with procrastination, if one doesnt got the fire in him to overcome the softening effect of modern conveniences, he might just end up not being able to change his life, simply because of bad luck. And yeah, i understand that this all sounds like a massive cope, and if youre gonna give up at the start youre never gonna find out if you have this "fire" in the first place. But im just tired of everyone endlessly putting the blame on people for "not working enough", its like saying "youre not praying enough if you dont feel gods pressence. Youre not believing sincerely enough if you dont fell blessed, try harder". All this productivity bros are just cultist, who will never understand that you just CANT become whoever you want. Not everyone can become a president, not everyone can become a millionaire, not everyone can study for 9+ hours or be productive 24/7, because not everyone can even quit fucking smoking cigarettes.
Tenacity is a result of how you see yourself and the world. you can try grind 12 hours a day to be successful, but if you don’t believe you can finish it and the world is just unfair, then you won’t make it. And the willpower to keep going comes from knowing how to not overwhelm yourself with the long road ahead. You don’t think “oh yeah 9 hours should do”. You think “well I made it to this hour, maybe another won’t hurt”, and so on.
Anyone can do anything, most won't. If you live your entire life with determinist thinking you definitely won't achieve anything. Exercise your free will, don't be a cog in the machine.
You expressed everything I’ve been wanting to say for so long, but couldn’t find the words. I’m one of those addicts too; even though I work everyday with a stable job but what you said about wanting to change ;t struggling with discipline really resonates with me. I constantly procrastinate about my real future, only to realize later that I was stuck in a false reality I had created. I believe procrastination, especially with the influence of music in today's world, becomes a crutch-a way to escape the present, forget the past, and fantasize about a fake future. The environment and people around you play a key role too.

@j6lkx5kt31 currently 2 years full time experience, a little over 100k. It's not bad (this probably sounds amazing, but I live in California where that is like barely enough for average apartment)
@j6lkx5kt31 also it depends what field of swe you go into, and the company, varies greatly. My first job was 86.5k right out of college, held it for 9 months before company went through mass layoffs (infamous 2022-23 tech layoffs), got this position in web app and ai integration
I took this in university, and it was beyond human compression, at least for me. I failed, but i was also barely paying attention. I have been considered as a math genius until i met this
I was thrown into discrete math in my 1st semester of CS as freshman... it was a total weed out course. Oh, just looked at your profile. We went to the same school lol.
For sure lmao. I am probably 0.01% as smart as this guy and I have a pretty decent SWE job in the US. College is hard but it’s not the real world and never will be. You just need to get your hands dirty with internships and experience and projects.

Its all impressive to see a kid do this stuff then you do your research on him and see he comes from a upper middle/high class upbringing. Dude went to Vermont Academy which is $38k - 70k tuition per year. and then to another high school which is 18k or so per year. Stop comparing yourself to people born with opportunities like this and access to great education and family structure right off the bat. He's literally going for BS in Math/CS as well as Applied/Engineering Physics, this is practically unobtainable for a large majority of people. This dude also saying the CS market isn't shit at 2:00:00 is kind of hilarious because it is quite literally statistically dogshit, look at the mass post covid layoffs, proceeds to say its shit if you're a bad programmer and good if you have undeniable skills? Like no duh dude, if you're a absolute beast ofc you're still getting a job and if you've always been shit it's even harder, the difference being its harder for the average person to get a job in the industry. I'm honestly not even hating but the lack of transparency and being slightly out of touch does not help
im in my last years of high school and never had anything close to this, i wanted to go for a CS degree but after seeing this i think i should reconsider that choice lmao
@@moonscore77Cs is very math heavy, at least when you’re in uni. The job market is over saturated right now so it’s very hard to get a job unless you stand out. It’s not a guaranteed type of job unless you work super hard. As for med it is also painful in the whole studying process, but higher chance of getting a job, almost a guarantee since med field still needs a lot of people. Just do what you’re passionate about the most, and don’t think about the salary. Bc your life would be miserable if you’re not passionate about these two, bc they requires effort and interest to learn

This looks like fun. I'm only a programmer (switched from electrical engineer) because I fell in love with programming, but I still enjoy math and physics. What educations do you use discrete maths for?
To the person in chat that said A levels are the same difficulty of SAT exams. You have obviously never taken an A level Exam. If you had taken an A level exam, I will assume that you failed. EDIT: just read that you are 16 but regardless my point stands I took both in 2021 and I think an ape with less hair than a seagull could pass an SAT exam blindfolded. I dont mean to be rude its just rude to discredit all the A level students that worked so hard for their results. - yes SAT students worked hard too, but you did not do as much as the a level student I dont care. Its the truth. Yes there are less subjects in A levels but the depth that the courses go into are much deeper. dont believe me? Tell me what a Boson Quartet is. oh you dont know? Well I learned that in 2019 in Physics A-Level. Put quite simply, American education needs to change. - Dom Germany 22
I think its because they inherently want to do what they do. Intrinsic goal so it comes within and him working and learning towards that goals prob gives him positive feedback loops to continue on like hes sort of content in a way i assume.

Have been through this one (multiple times) lmao, hope you crushed it !

A discrete math course covering p=no is unheard of to me. My university was lacking
I legitimately got a C- in this class in freshman year… during covid too when the scoring was more lenient 😭😭😭

love discrete mathematics, really cool video
Wish I loved maths

Can someone coherently explain why willpower is not considered genetical? Like, yeah, I understand that mastery is 5% talent and 95% work, that all geniuses worked their ass off, and technically, i can as well. But to start working you ass off, you need to have basic amount of descipline to not fail immediately and be consistent. And to even start developing your discipline, you need to have some basic amount of will power, which is either genetical, or built in childhood by your parents in case they're strict. And examples of people who lack this "basic willpower" are seen everywhere: Failed student, alcohol/smoking/porn addicts, obeese people. Each one of them perfectly understands that whetever they're onto is bad, yet cannot help themselves but to continue. Why so?? If you ask each one of them, it will turn out they all want to be fit/educated/healthy, but for some reason ultimately fail. How can you explain that? That "they dont ACTUALLY want it"? Well, its still not their fault, because you arent choosing what you want, it is a collective of you genes and past experience/ circumstances.
People often equate the physical ability to do something to an actual feasibility of it. Physically, you can jump of the rooftop right now, but there is ~0% chance you will be able to overcome your self-preservation instinct. Same with procrastination, if one doesnt got the fire in him to overcome the softening effect of modern conveniences, he might just end up not being able to change his life, simply because of bad luck.
And yeah, i understand that this all sounds like a massive cope, and if youre gonna give up at the start youre never gonna find out if you have this "fire" in the first place. But im just tired of everyone endlessly putting the blame on people for "not working enough", its like saying "youre not praying enough if you dont feel gods pressence. Youre not believing sincerely enough if you dont fell blessed, try harder". All this productivity bros are just cultist, who will never understand that you just CANT become whoever you want. Not everyone can become a president, not everyone can become a millionaire, not everyone can study for 9+ hours or be productive 24/7, because not everyone can even quit fucking smoking cigarettes.
You're forgetting small and large scale environmental factors. We don't function in a vacuum
Tenacity is a result of how you see yourself and the world. you can try grind 12 hours a day to be successful, but if you don’t believe you can finish it and the world is just unfair, then you won’t make it.
And the willpower to keep going comes from knowing how to not overwhelm yourself with the long road ahead. You don’t think “oh yeah 9 hours should do”. You think “well I made it to this hour, maybe another won’t hurt”, and so on.
Anyone can do anything, most won't. If you live your entire life with determinist thinking you definitely won't achieve anything. Exercise your free will, don't be a cog in the machine.
You expressed everything I’ve been wanting to say for so long, but couldn’t find the words. I’m one of those addicts too; even though I work everyday with a stable job but what you said about wanting to change ;t struggling with discipline really resonates with me. I constantly procrastinate about my real future, only to realize later that I was stuck in a false reality I had created. I believe procrastination, especially with the influence of music in today's world, becomes a crutch-a way to escape the present, forget the past, and fantasize about a fake future. The environment and people around you play a key role too.
There’s an experiment done on twins who grew up on different environments. One grew up with poor family, others grew up with rich family. As they grew older they’re 99% identical in terms of looks, personality, intelligence and other traits.
Keep up the grind bro
Idk why im here tbh i stumble upon these
I went through a semester of thie bullshit to become a software engineer and i havent utilized a single thing from it yet 😂 aaaaaaaa the pain
does it pay good?
@j6lkx5kt31 currently 2 years full time experience, a little over 100k. It's not bad (this probably sounds amazing, but I live in California where that is like barely enough for average apartment)
@j6lkx5kt31 also it depends what field of swe you go into, and the company, varies greatly. My first job was 86.5k right out of college, held it for 9 months before company went through mass layoffs (infamous 2022-23 tech layoffs), got this position in web app and ai integration
It’s good to learn things don’t strive to be mediocre because people on twitter say it’s okay
@@elnopalero4691 I never said that or believed that xD
When I took Discrete Math at UofM someone had a breakdown right after the final exam, stuff was crazy
I took this in university, and it was beyond human compression, at least for me. I failed, but i was also barely paying attention. I have been considered as a math genius until i met this
same, but i'm on my 2nd try and it's all good so far
i really need to find my way of studying session and sprint skills, thanks for your sharing
Cant believe he was playing piano the whole time too
Good luck bro, computer science at UIUC is no joke. I took CS 173 in 2017 and am happy I don’t use discrete math during my day job 😊
I was thrown into discrete math in my 1st semester of CS as freshman... it was a total weed out course. Oh, just looked at your profile. We went to the same school lol.
You inspired me to start studied hard bro I'm also a CS student in university, your dedication inspired me man, respect. Subscribed.
Remember kids, you don’t have to have a resume like this guy to succeed
For sure lmao. I am probably 0.01% as smart as this guy and I have a pretty decent SWE job in the US. College is hard but it’s not the real world and never will be. You just need to get your hands dirty with internships and experience and projects.

I NEEDED THIS A MONTH AGO 😭😭😭
Amazing dedication, hard to see something like this in these days.
I'm subscribing and liking just for the sheer effort of this guy posting this demon of a video.😂 I barely passed college algebra. 😂
Its all impressive to see a kid do this stuff then you do your research on him and see he comes from a upper middle/high class upbringing. Dude went to Vermont Academy which is $38k - 70k tuition per year. and then to another high school which is 18k or so per year. Stop comparing yourself to people born with opportunities like this and access to great education and family structure right off the bat. He's literally going for BS in Math/CS as well as Applied/Engineering Physics, this is practically unobtainable for a large majority of people.
This dude also saying the CS market isn't shit at 2:00:00 is kind of hilarious because it is quite literally statistically dogshit, look at the mass post covid layoffs, proceeds to say its shit if you're a bad programmer and good if you have undeniable skills? Like no duh dude, if you're a absolute beast ofc you're still getting a job and if you've always been shit it's even harder, the difference being its harder for the average person to get a job in the industry.
I'm honestly not even hating but the lack of transparency and being slightly out of touch does not help
im in my last years of high school and never had anything close to this, i wanted to go for a CS degree but after seeing this i think i should reconsider that choice lmao
Me too 😅 wanted a CS degree instead of going into med but seeing this is making me beyond anxious. I was always bad at maths but this bruh
@@moonscore77We all start knowing nothing lol don't let that demotivate you 😂
Degree programs are set up for you to succeed, if you care enough about the material to learn it and use it you will be fine.
@@moonscore77Cs is very math heavy, at least when you’re in uni.
The job market is over saturated right now so it’s very hard to get a job unless you stand out. It’s not a guaranteed type of job unless you work super hard.
As for med it is also painful in the whole studying process, but higher chance of getting a job, almost a guarantee since med field still needs a lot of people.
Just do what you’re passionate about the most, and don’t think about the salary. Bc your life would be miserable if you’re not passionate about these two, bc they requires effort and interest to learn
I once did 11h of studying marathon in college, I regret that stupidity to this day. Working 'hard' simply is not enough. Some people are gifted, provided they reinforce that with appropriate effort and dedication not just drilling.
Taking discreet math next year. Needless to say, don’t think I’m smart enough lol
Hi I hope you can belive in yourself, all the best.
You don't have to be smart to take discrete math, dw. Most cs majors suck at math and get through it, it's not as hard as they say
@@tmjz7327are you a cs major?
@@00serenity00 yes, I studied math and cs and am now in grad school for math and have also met many cs majors through courses I TAed
Wish you success and happiness bro ❤ all that work will pay off. Trust the process.
For no reason, this pops up on my YT feed at almost 2 a.m….okay

Hey, sry I was just curious what distro this is? Should be Ubuntu right? And if so how did you manage to mod you taskbar so damn clean
sidebar? you mean dash? if so then he just reduce the size of it from settings
also yes this is ubuntu

de is gnome
Omg I remember this course material this shit literally had me going insane. It was a miracle I was able to pass the class with an ok grade
9:40:45 cancelling nvidia firmware is crazy dawg
i lowkey love watching you study lol
i know im definitely late, but good luck bro, i aced mine last sem
studying for 9 hrs in one sitting would numb my brain 😭
randomly reccommended, hope you did well fam
Chill guy. Wish him the best
Godspeed
was my first math class at uni, pretty simple stuff actually compared to the rest.
Hope you did well boss
currently taking discrete math,,
it's not super hard so far, but i'm scared for the deeper topics..,,
This is getting recommended to me 3 months later 😂
Love how every once in a while looking at an equation he nods and goes, “mm, yeah, okay” like it doesn’t look like an enchantment books text from Minecraft
45:21 your answer was almost the optimal. State 3 and 8 are the exact same so if you were to combine them you would have had it under 9 states

I attend georgia tech and i gotta admit u guys at umd are actully insane when it comes to CS. I teamed up with a dude from umd for hackgt , and met a lot of other CS folks from there and everyone was cracked. And then i stumble across this vid, good stuff

This looks like fun. I'm only a programmer (switched from electrical engineer) because I fell in love with programming, but I still enjoy math and physics. What educations do you use discrete maths for?
I wanna be like Aidan Andrews when I grow up

To the person in chat that said A levels are the same difficulty of SAT exams. You have obviously never taken an A level Exam.
If you had taken an A level exam, I will assume that you failed.
EDIT: just read that you are 16 but regardless my point stands
I took both in 2021 and I think an ape with less hair than a seagull could pass an SAT exam blindfolded.
I dont mean to be rude its just rude to discredit all the A level students that worked so hard for their results.
- yes SAT students worked hard too, but you did not do as much as the a level student I dont care. Its the truth.
Yes there are less subjects in A levels but the depth that the courses go into are much deeper.
dont believe me? Tell me what a Boson Quartet is. oh you dont know? Well I learned that in 2019 in Physics A-Level.
Put quite simply, American education needs to change.

Could you show us your dots? What Linux distro do you use?
i am pretty sure it is ubuntu
How does someone feel happiness being like this guy that studies 24/7 in this video ?
by finding a high paying job.
I think its because they inherently want to do what they do. Intrinsic goal so it comes within and him working and learning towards that goals prob gives him positive feedback loops to continue on like hes sort of content in a way i assume.
I genuinely enjoy mathemathics, so its easier to put such a large amount of time into it for me but 9 hrs in a sitting is still crazy imo and not even good for retaining info.
@@ramiensharifi6591 whats ur sweet spot for studying? Also Id like to agree with your retention point but its hard to tell how his brain works and if it actually works for him rather than a structure of time blocks throughout the day.
@@luigi-zx9nf I hate studying yet I pull off crazy sessions motivated by the sunk cost fallacy.
