It is not as if the same effort will be dedicated to switching to modules than a rewrite (which probably won't happen for the OP)

It's also common knowledge that even comparing the academic workings of two sub fields is non-trivial

For DS and algos, formally proving properties of things would definitely be considerd an academic activity.

I don't get why it would include so much math but no discrete or proof based stuff. Was it a degree in computer engineering instead?

> Also, a question. If you publish a paper with a repo, what would be the best way to handle the version in the paper matching the repo in the future?

You can include the hash of the commit used for your paper.

At first I thought this was a random student attempting something. Would have never guesses that this was actually from quanta.

Here is the discussion from /r/math: https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/l4zhxh/the_map_of_mat...

This would lead to incredible toxic situations. If I want to apply to 5 companies and all 5 have 1, but different questions that I could learn in a week. Would you considser it would be more efficient for any party for me to learn this in advance?

Also, this assumes it is known upfront what this required knowledge would be...
