Courses

Here's a list of all courses I've taken pursuing a B.S. in CS at Northeastern University. For each course, I've listed my favorite thing I've learned from it.

Freshman Year

Semester 1:

• MUSC1001, Music In Everyday Life: Music is math in disguise.
• MATH1342 Calculus 2 for Science/Engineering: Volumes of curves: spin to win.
• CS1800, Discrete Structures (and CS1802 Lab): Predict the future with Bayes' Theorem.
• CS2500, Fundamentals of Computer Science 1 (and CS2501 Lab): Kotlin = Python + Java.

Semester 2:

• Math1365, Intro to Math Reasoning: Why write words when you can ⊂≡∅∃∀⇔⌊ ⌋≠
• CS2510, Fundamentals of Computer Science 2 (and CS2511 Lab): IntelliJ IDE is the best IDE.
• CY2550, Intro to Cybersecurity: Your grandma is not safe.
• CS3200, Intro to Databases: Keys. Keys everywhere.

Sophomore Year

Summer 1:

• PHIL1115, Technology and Human Values: A class from 1:30-5:00 PM is only tolerable if the professor is very nice.
• CS3500, Object-Oriented Design (and CS3501 Lab): Design patterns are great, MVC is awesome.

Summer 2:

• CS3650, Computer Systems: Assembly makes Java look like Python.
• CS3950, Intro to CS Research: Small changes can lead to big discoveries.
• CS4100, Intro to Artificial Intelligence: "Throw sh*t at a wall and see what sticks" = Q-learning.

Semester 2:

• CS1210, Professional Development for Khoury Co-op:
• MATH2331, Linear Algebra:
• CY3740, Systems Security:
