S4.3 - Programming Languages feat. Jostin Álvarez

Sorry for the wait! After a long time I decided it was about time to come back with the rest of the Semester. On this episode we will be talking about the Programming Languages course and how it's really not about the languages altogether! We talk about the paradigms and the differences they have. Not only that, we have a very special guest with us! Jostin Álvarez alvarez.jostin@gmail.com

S3.3 - Linear Algebra for Computer Science

As we have been saying, fundamentals are key . This is because technology is always changing, and your work will most likely omit lots of technicalities. Linear Algebra comes to strengthen those fundamentals in mathematics, logic, and algebraic structures. Plus, this course is 100% necessary for computer-graphics-related careers.

S3.2 - Analysis of Algorithms

Efficiency is underestimated. Complexity can be measured. Turing Machines define the nature of problems. Computer science is, for the first time, studied in depth ! Join us on this exciting episode where we explain numerous pivotal concepts for the analysis of algorithms as well as some computer science basics!

S2.4 - Calculus for Computer Science

Calculus is here! But wait, isn't calculus only for real engineers? Well, you'd be surprised! Calculus is not only vital for Linear Algebra (which is vital for computer graphics), it's also common knowledge between engineers and scientists. Hop on to learn the basic concepts and my number 1 tip for math courses on this episode!

S2.3 - Computer Architectures

The sequel to the Fundamentals of Computer Organization Course! We talk about the major concepts of a computer's architecture as well as some of the contents in the course. Fun fact, I failed this course but aced it later on. If you fail a course, don't worry, it doesn't define you, and you will be successful by standing up again and again! :)
