Discrete Mathematics

Coursera is offering a new online course on discrete math. Class opens Feb 27 and 11 weeks of lectures are already posted.

You can do what everyone else has had to do when this situation arose and that is to learn everything from the textbook.

Or you can try the online route. You can try and get credit from your school or use the online class to learn the material then take the course at your school next semester.

Coursera has a class in Discrete Mathematics

https://www.coursera.org/learn/discrete-mathematics

You can get a certificate for $49.

Recommended online courses from MSCSO

Hey all. I posted on the inaugural admissions thread that I was admitted without a CS undergrad and that I had taken MOOCs recommended by MSCSO. Early on in my application I had sent the admissions office an email and received a list of courses that they were considering in order to offer prospective students recommendations on how to prepare.

As per a few peoples request, here is that list:

I chose one class from each topic (minus the Discrete Math, given my undergrad was Mathematics) and included the certificates in my application to both MSCSO and OMSCS.

I did end up picking OMSCS, but I hope to see the MSCSO program thrive and I wish all applicants the best of luck!

About the list and 80% From their email Applicants who do not hold a degree in computer science should have prior coursework or experience equivalent to the following UT Computer Science undergraduate courses:

• Discrete Math for Computer Science (CS 311)

• Introduction to Programming (CS 312)

• Data Structures (CS 314)

• Algorithms and Complexity (CS 331)

• Computer Organization and Architecture (CS 429)

• Principles of Computer Systems (CS 439)

Here are the undergraduate course descriptions for more information about the material covered in the prerequisite courses. If an applicant has evidence of gaining content knowledge on these subjects through a course or through work experience, it is important to detail that in the CV and personal statement. It is also possible to take courses through online platforms or a local university.

I’ve attached a list of courses that would be helpful for an applicant to prepare for the program.  Once again, I would recommend mentioning these in the personal statement to show that an applicant has acquired the content knowledge to succeed in the program.
