Most important and useful CS courses?

Interesting you bring up Number Theory and Analysis of Algorithms since I was considering taking those classes. But I was wondering, would Analysis of Algorithms (the math class) be very similar to Intro to Algorithms (the EECS class)?



Since your EECS 477 is at the 400-level, and I was referring to a more advanced algorithms course, I would say that those two courses are very similar. The only possible difference (and it will only be slight) is that an algorithms course offered by the math department only (not joint with CS) may have slightly less programming assignments and maybe a bit more theory.

…but the difference would be very small.
