    Abstraction and Computer Science: How much one affetcs the latter?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2019 12:27 AM PDT

    I am a freshman computer science major. I would like to know, based on your experiences in the field (given that the ability to think more abstractly is a tool that every computer scientist must have), how much abstraction helped you think and solve problems at hand? In addition, I would like to know your recommendations (books, lectures, and learning resources) to develop an essential skill in thinking more abstractly. Did a course on Proof writing, Analysis, and logic help you that much?

    On a personal note: I would very much appreciate your views for this matter.

    Thank you.

    When it comes to large numbers, is it possible to store a number using less bits if it is first factorised to the product of its primes?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 06:25 AM PDT

    For example for 12=22*3 it probably isn't worth it but for astronomically large numbers would it take less space to store them just as products and exponentiations of their prime factors?

    CS in natural sciences

    Posted: 02 Jul 2019 04:28 AM PDT

    Hey, I was wondering if are there are jobs in natural sciences where computer scientists are needed. Not bioinformatics, but more macroscopic fields like zoology, botany, geology, ecc. or where you are needed to install outdoor systems, interact with nature, etc. This may sound a bit of a vague question but as a CSE grad who always loved natural sciences (but didn't study them for fear of unemployement) I wonder if there's any chance I could be working in such fields as a computer scientist (would be a dream come true!)

    (I hope this is the right subreddit, if you think I should ask in askcscareer I will delete and post there)

    Machine Learning and Object-oriented thinking

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 05:10 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I just finished an introductory course in Python (I've read the book of Tony Gaddis' Starting out with Python and Allen Downey's Think Python). My motivation was primarily driven by my enthusiasm in the field of Machine learning and Data Science. In terms of my mathematical background (because I've heard that Machine learning is closely related to statistical learning which requires a higher level of mathematical understanding), I only have a few (Calculus 1-3, Probability theory, Linear Algebra I, Statistics [applied] and my high school maths).

    Since the field of Machine learning is based on abstract notions of mathematical structures, would it help if I were to take another course on Object-oriented programming [more of a proper to that of what I've learned in Python]? How much would it help me in terms of thinking abstractly? If not, what would be the best course to focus on?

    I am a freshman computer science major specializing in software engineering, and I would very much appreciate your views in this regard.

    Thank you.

    Personal projects on College Apps?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 03:49 PM PDT

    Hello, rising senior here. Just wondering if I should make a mention of personal Computer Science projects I've worked on by myself, even if they don't impact the community in a way.

    Computing Ranges in Constant Time

    How exactly does audio work? Moreover, how exactly to you program audio digitally?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 09:29 AM PDT

    So, I can more or less visualize how video would be programmed. A specific set of bits would designate the shade and color of a pixel, and multiple pixels would make up an image. A video is just a bunch of pixels changing shade at right times (of oversimplify)

    What I'm getting at is that all sounds have a different timbre, more or less.. There's seemingly infinite timbres, or "colors" of sounds. I get how pitch and volume might work, but how the heck does *timbre* work?

    What projects would look good on a university application?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 12:57 PM PDT

    I have a computer science project coming up, and as it's likely to come up in a university interview I would like to choose one which would look more impressive when applying for a computer science degree.

    I'm currently considering looking into simulations (eg. fluid simulation or geographical like weather and pollution), genetic algorithms and simulations or just a basic machine learning project (eg. recognizing handwriting).

    Anyone think any of these projects will be suitably complex or would stand out on an application, or can recommend any more suitable projects?

    Can a universal programming language exist?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 07:10 AM PDT

    Is it possible for a language to serve every conceivable purpose? Assuming we lived in a utopian world where compatibility wasn't an issue. My question is basically whether there is something about Python that is irreconcilable with C++/C.
