C949 Data Structures and Algorithms I and C960 Discrete Mathematics II

I had to complete C949 Data Structures and Algorithms I in my quest to find the other side of C960 Discrete Math II. On the way, I ran into Jay Wengrow's Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms and Harvard's CS50 course. I highly recommend both for anyone dipping their toes into Computer Science. Things would be different had I been able to go through those first. But once I managed to collect all the pieces missing from the C960 book, I was able to crush it with a final score of 82%.

I'm taking a three-month term break now. I have to learn to program so I can stop having to play catch-up all the time. At least this way I can do it without having to pay WGU tuition.

I am thankful for my term break. I really needed it!

Math Dreams

My math dreams are over. WGU requires a teaching degree to enter their program so I will not be spending next semester fleshing out my math background.

I did make it to Phase 1 of the Pytorch Scholarship Challenge so I am considering taking a term break to focus on that for a few months.

In the mean time, I am still working on Discrete Math II. I passed the preassessment to Data Structures and Algorithms I with a 90% so I'm feeling confident about algorithms and am also more proficient in reading pseudocode than before. I just need to finish going through the rest of the Discrete Mathematics II book again.

Lately, I am grateful for cold brewed coffee. It's keeping me awake through my early study sessions.
