Which one of these courses should I pick /sci/
>Algorithms and Data Structures (in Java)
>Mechanics and Relativity
>>7806400
switch to a cultural studies major
>>7806400
Do you even need to ask? (Analytical) Mechanics and Relativity.
If you want to learn other one then just read "Data Structures and Algorithms in C++" by Drozdek on your own.
>>7806400
I don't get it. 2nd or 3rd year comsci course vs. literally the first physics class in the introductory sequence? What are you studying?
>>7806433
Applied Mathematics.

No
>>7806400
>in Java
>>7806480
Is Java really that shitty?
>>7806566
It's outdated, but so rooted in corporate offices you have to deal with it

This,
>>7806566
It's the most used and its usage is increasing.
Java is still a thousand better than C++ that is fucking horrible. However, I loved the language i the data structure, algorithms course I had.
>>7807344
Academics mostly use Python nowadays anyway.
Julia also looks promising.
MATLAB is going stale.
>>7807344
0/10, your trolling is too obvious
So ehh, I should pick Mechanics and Relativity?
I like that course better anyway, I just think that Algorithms and Data Structures has much more applications in todays world.
Live a little. Take both.

There's more self learning material for algorithms and data structures, so yes, I'd pick mechanics and relativity. You could still learn it on your own, but you hear more often that a code monkey trained itself in his basement rather than an autist taught himself mechanics and relativity.

>Take both.
Non-graduate CS courses are a total waste of time. It's like taking college classes to learn how to turn on a computer or drive a car.
take the easier course and finish school quicker

>Voluntarily go to a place of higher learning
>Avoiding learning as much as possible
