In addition, a beautiful senior from Zhejiang University who came to ICME to study for a master's degree drove us shopping and gave us a lot of spatula appliances. She also mentioned that we can't judge the difficulty of the course according to the senior's words, because any course is very simple for him. Although there are many beautiful women in Zhejiang University, it's a pity that they all find EECS as boyfriends, alas. . . I also want to take those courses to cultivate my own quality.
Stanford is really big, but it's all trees. As soon as the gate enters, it is the ultra-wide Palm Avenue. Each tree costs tens of thousands of dollars, and half of the tuition we pay is spent on these trees. In short, the whole school is useless, and each building is far apart, which is not as convenient as CUHK. But people here ride bicycles too fast, and a gust of wind flies by me.
Yesterday, I tried cooking for myself. It doesn't look cheap, but it's also hard and thankless. The main reason is that the stove is too difficult to use and the heating is too slow and uncomfortable. It tastes terrible when cooked, so I have to bite the bullet and smoke.
I went to see Xiaomi in ICME department today. She asked me who I knew in the department, so I told Brother Daniel and Sister Mei. Another read his resume on the Internet. I know him, but he doesn't know me. It seems that his pronunciation is wrong, and she didn't react at first. Then I asked some information about ICME, saying that there are 25 masters and doctors 10 this year, which is a little more than before. Two years ago, there were 20 masters and 7 doctors. Alas, the enrollment expansion is very fierce, otherwise we can't get in. Then I asked about the employment situation. She said 1/3 went to study for a master's degree in banking finance, generally went to quant group, 1/3 went to a software company, and others went to consult. Of course, there are still those who have not found a job to transfer to a doctor. It seems that 1/3 (or 2/3) doctoral positions went to academia, and the rest went to industry. She said that times have changed, and now the academic community has to compete with the industry for doctoral graduates. I also asked how many places can be transferred from master's degree to doctoral degree every year? She said that as long as the average GPA reaches 3.5, if you find 1 a tutor who is willing to take you through qualify, 25 of them can transfer to PhD. In fact, I think ICME also knows that not many people can meet these conditions every year. I heard from a beautiful girl who successfully changed blogs that there are 3 or 4 people a year. I asked if I could look at the previous qualification questions, and she said that orientation would be given. She said the qualification exam was too difficult. Xiaomi also said that other majors can choose more than 200 courses, and mathematics department can choose more than 100 courses, because mathematics classes are difficult, and the prefix 1 is equivalent to others' prefix 2. According to statistics, the numbers corresponding to such difficult courses as 3 10ABC in Mathematics Department only have prefix 2 (the two numbers are the same course), and our ICME 3 prefix course is in Mathematics Department.
Only promote ICME. In fact, as long as you enter Stanford, all majors are similar. What EE, CS, ICME, STATS, financial mathematics, MSE are actually very similar, because the course selection is very free. In this case, of course, choose a good applicant. As for which good newspaper, obviously other majors will know what it means by looking at the short name, and many people will definitely report it, Ms &；; E may not know what it means, but there is a management in it, and people have a soft spot for this word, so more than 1000 people signed up, with an average GRE score of 1400 and TOEFL score of 1 12. This major with so many applicants must have been selected by GT. Stanford CS has always been unfriendly to China, at most 1, Doctor 2. This year, a doctor+tutor who studied in Tsinghua for a master's degree of 1 year moved to Stanford, and NIPS 1 did 1 article; There used to be only three or four CSMasters, but this year there are seven or eight. You know, doctors are 20-30, masters are 1 200, and the number of applicants exceeds 1 000. As for ICME, I really don't know what it is at first glance. I read the full name of the Institute of Computing and Mathematical Engineering. I still don't know what that is. I read the introduction: (ICME) Using Stanford's outstanding advantages in engineering applications and physics, biology and earth sciences, we will focus on and guide the development of modern research and education in computational mathematics. Science can't see money, but in fact, choosing courses is very free. No one forced you to choose ICME courses. In addition to the six compulsory courses (*** 15), you can choose financial mathematics and EECS courses. People here say that CS is super good for employment now, and EE is a bit difficult, but EE is so huge. It is estimated that 200 experts have been recruited this year, with many in China and few in CS China. Therefore, if you want to learn CS and financial mathematics, you may wish to apply for EE or ICME. Although it sounds exaggerated, it can't be wrong. EE is more free to choose courses than ICME, and there are only some general requirements for breadth and depth, but there is actually no requirement. ICME 6 compulsory courses are as follows
CME 302 numerical linear algebra (the teacher is a beautiful and gentle person, so it is not difficult)
Cme303 applies mathematical partial differential equations (one of the textbooks is Evans' PDE, which is extremely difficult).
CME 304 numerical optimization (dean of explosion department, homework doesn't know what to say, and neither does TA)
Cme305 discrete mathematics and algorithm (simple, ACM global silver medal)
Numerical solution of Cme306 partial differential equation (forgot to ask this course)
Logistics methods in Cme308 project (explosion, department head, extremely difficult operation)
The above is what my senior said. He taught himself to program 1 year and a half, and won the ACM global silver award (ranking eighth in total, as if ACM was 4 gold, 4 silver and 4 bronze). We should take this into account.
The above information is introduced by the new students of School of Computing and Mathematical Engineering (ICME) of Stanford University. This paper mainly introduces some living conditions and course selection.
