> I'm close to completing Single Variable Calculus on the OCW website on MIT.

It's probably too late for that course, but IMO MIT's courses on edx are much better structured than on MIT OCW or whatever it's called.

Similar for me, but custom maps in wc3 instead.

This is why math shouldnt be posted on HN.

What's your background in math?
sidusknight··on IQ rates are dropping in many developed countries
Not sure about that, aren't immigrants (on average) more educated than the native population?
sidusknight··on P = NP Proofs: Advice to claimers
Sure. And why does that seem any more feasible than a non-constructive proof?
sidusknight··on P = NP Proofs: Advice to claimers
What do you image a constructive proof looking like?
sidusknight··on Time Travel (2006)
You could say the exact same thing for eg. mass.

SC2 is way larger in the west than it is in Korea.

Immigration is good for the economy and is a fundamental liberal value.

What was your SC2 alias? I played at a similar level as you.

OG Diablo didn't even have a cd-key, unfortunately.

What would be an appropriate posting for these people to apply to?
sidusknight··on Great Ideas in Theoretical Computer Science
Most of the links are behind a login. Why even post this here?
sidusknight··on DeepMind and Blizzard Open StarCraft II as an AI Research Environment
Have you played SC2 before? It's hard to explain if you haven't.

Protoss hasn't went FEE PvZ in a long time. It used to be good, though.

There no were BW pro-gamers outside of Korea.

Your definition of macro is a lot more encompassing than how I see it used in SC2. It normally refers to just spending resources properly (constantly producing units and workers, setting up infrastructure, etc).
sidusknight··on DeepMind and Blizzard Open StarCraft II as an AI Research Environment
Of course.
sidusknight··on DeepMind and Blizzard Open StarCraft II as an AI Research Environment
Yeah, you're right. Not sure what the guy is talking about.
sidusknight··on DeepMind and Blizzard Open StarCraft II as an AI Research Environment
There isn't any SC2 AI that's anywhere near as good as a player in an actual game. Sure, they can demonstrate some sick unit control, but that alone isn't enough to win games.

sidusknight··on What makes maths beautiful?
>E=mc^2 is considered the greatest equation in history because of this reason.

Only people with a "pop-culture" idea of math&physics think that.

You have a very weak understanding of what the word 'correlation' means.

Sorry, I'm not american. What does calc 2 normally refer to in the US?
sidusknight··on University of Tokyo Graduate School Entrance Exam – Mathematics (2016) [pdf]
I think his point is that you can always use the partial derivative notation and be correct.
sidusknight··on University of Tokyo Graduate School Entrance Exam – Mathematics (2016) [pdf]
This is applied math. There isn't any analysis, topology, etc, either.
sidusknight··on University of Tokyo Graduate School Entrance Exam – Mathematics (2016) [pdf]
Doesn't question 2, problem 2?
sidusknight··on University of Tokyo Graduate School Entrance Exam – Mathematics (2016) [pdf]
Sure, you might not have studied differential equations though.
sidusknight··on University of Tokyo Graduate School Entrance Exam – Mathematics (2016) [pdf]
MIT, for example, doesn't require their CS students to take a differential equations class. So you're wrong in that respect. The rest is certainly doable though.
