  • I’m flying into Tokyo on a Thursday. Going to stay a night, then take the train to Osaka for the weekend til Tuesday. Then heading west to Hiroshima for a bit, back to Osaka for the next weekend. Spend a night in Kyoto, then back to Tokyo until I fly out.

    That’s the loose itinerary at least, I really have no idea what I’m going to do while I’m there 😅. Lots of walking around town and maybe some nature excursions if anything calls out to me.

  • Not really sure if this answers your question (I agree with you, ultimately), but here’s my experience:

    At the college I attended, these sigma/pi expressions weren’t taught until the end of Calculus 2, but I wanted to take an Algorithms class - which had calc 2 as a prerequisite.

    I got an exception from my advisor which allowed me to take Algorithms before the pre-req. In my experience, these concepts were easily learned in the context of algorithmic complexity.

    Some might be barred from learning important theory in computer science by “brutal” math classes at university. They might find solace in this post which translates sigma into ‘for’
