![]() I'm glad to hear that the Analytics program has a more dedicated focus on practical matters. The core constituted a relatively small chunk of the overall credits required, though, and the elective courses tended to be more along the lines of what I described. In my experience with the MSCS program (nearly ten years ago at this point) the core required classes were mostly well structured and would serve people well continuing onto a PhD or growing their skill set for industry. And to all who make this greatly empowering service possible: thanks, and keep up the good work.įair enough, and I should have been a bit clearer in my original post. I say, more power to GT's authors, curators, and administrators who made this possible. And when done right and priced-right (as I believe GT does), I have nothing but kudos to offer in return. Few of us pros can return to campuses, even part-time. ![]() I also believe it's high time that universities clued in to the unmet need that most of us post-academics face toward helping us continuously re-educate ourselves as we progress through our careers. I believe there's a great deal of value in applied non-PhD track academic programs like GT's online discount offerings, especially in serving professionals and employers. And devising the theta bound on a function or resolving the terms of a CSP simply don't deliver much value when working outside PhD-level R&D labs and writing peer-reviewed papers. Few computing pros submit proofs among their deliverables. In general, while theory has great value, it's more as a stepping stone to higher study than as an end unto itself. But if the role of 'higher education' is to be a practical one (as engineering programs have always been), it only makes sense for schools to ask industry what it needs and then serve those ends, first and foremost. I have an example I'd like to write up, but it's a bit long for a footnote.Ĭertainly with the rise of sham/for-profit universities, sales pitches promoting 'practicality' now launch red flags, and deservedly so. In particular, my mindset shifted to one of models of computation and decomposition of problems into subproblems for which the simplest model could apply. : For undergrad that dubious honor has to go to Olin Shivers, not only because of his eclectic teaching style, but also because his class completely altered the way I think about problems in computer science. Correctness is near and dear to my heart, but performance is right there with it :) The material from the couple compilers classes I took on a whim has been a huge boon when talking about software correctness. ![]() : In particular, the material covered in my graduate systems classes has been invaluable for not reinventing the wheel for the thousandth time. It was also probably the highlight of my graduate career. In addition to high quality, pre-prepared lectures peppered with entertaining anecdotes, the had high quality projects that worked with pratcial tooling. Charles Isbell's Intro ML class was a significant exception to the pattern I described above. It's interesting that you brought up machine learning. In the years subsequent to that, the grounding from those classes has given me starting points for deep dives into problems I encountered at work. I was planning on pursuing a PhD when I started into my MS, so this format worked quite well for me at the time. This naturally leads to a format where the semester can effectively be described as a long reading list of papers and lectures to spur discussion on the content of the paper. That said, with a couple of notable exceptions, the graduate classes are there for PhD students as first and second year background material so they have some starting points for their research. While I have many complaints about the school, the quality of the classes is not one of them, for either the undergrad or grad programs. I did both my BSCS and MSCS at Georgia Tech.

![]() The external opening of the ear still lies at the base of the jaw. ![]() Nonetheless, findings on the extinct species Teinolophos confirm that suspended ear bones evolved independently among monotremes and therians. As in all true mammals, the tiny bones that conduct sound to the inner ear are fully incorporated into the skull, rather than lying in the jaw as in non-mammal cynodonts and other premammalian synapsids this feature, too, is now claimed to have evolved independently in monotremes and therians, although, as with the analogous evolution of the tribosphenic molar, this hypothesis is disputed. Monotreme jaws are constructed somewhat differently from those of other mammals, and the jaw opening muscle is different. Tooth loss in modern monotremes might be related to their development of electrolocation. Some recent work suggests that monotremes acquired this form of molar independently of placental mammals and marsupials, although this hypothesis remains disputed. ![]() Fossil forms and modern platypus young have a "tribosphenic" form of molars (with the occlusal surface formed by three cusps arranged in a triangle), which is one of the hallmarks of extant mammals.

Platypus Long-beaked echidna Diagram of a monotreme egg. The anterior commissure does provide an alternate communication route between the two hemispheres, though, and in monotremes and marsupials it carries all the commissural fibers arising from the neocortex, whereas in placental mammals the anterior commissure carries only some of these fibers. In common with reptiles and marsupials, monotremes lack the connective structure ( corpus callosum) which in placental mammals is the primary communication route between the right and left brain hemispheres. Like other mammals, monotremes are endothermic with a high metabolic rate (though not as high as other mammals see below) have hair on their bodies produce milk through mammary glands to feed their young have a single bone in their lower jaw and have three middle-ear bones. The name monotreme derives from the Greek words μονός ( monós 'single') and τρῆμα ( trêma 'hole'), referring to the cloaca. Monotremes have been considered by some authors to be members of Australosphenida, a clade that contains extinct mammals from the Jurassic and Cretaceous of Madagascar, South America, and Australia, but this categorization is disputed and their taxonomy is under debate.Īll extant species of monotremes are indigenous to Australia and New Guinea, although they were also present in the Late Cretaceous and Paleocene of southern South America, indicating that they were also present in Antarctica, though remains have not been found there. ![]() Although they are different from almost all mammals in that they lay eggs, like all mammals, the female monotremes nurse their young with milk. Monotremes are typified by structural differences in their brains, jaws, digestive tract, reproductive tract, and other body parts, compared to the more common mammalian types. The extant monotreme species are the platypus and the four species of echidnas. They are the only group of living mammals that lay eggs, rather than bearing live young. Monotremes ( / ˈ m ɒ n ə t r iː m z/) are mammals of the order Monotremata.

I'm so happy to report those days are far behind and the V Collection on modern computer hardware sounds fantastic and won't bring the system down. The Mini Moog V sounded very good but it was a huge processor resource hog. I was struggling with an early ProTools system on a Mac Laptop every time I tried to use the Mini Moog plugin the DAW computer crashed. My introduction to the Arturia V-Collection began many years ago (around 2005) with my purchase of their Mini Moog, stand-alone, virtual instrument plugin.
