That said, the classes aren't going to all be about math and only math, a lot of classes have physical projects. But the projects are tightly integrated with theory. I learned multivariable calculus by modeling a boat with some curves, and then building the boat out of foam to see if the calculated angle at which it tips was the same as reality.
If you kid can get excited about project-based learning, Olin is an awesome option.
I'd be happy to talk to you more if you have more questions.
I requested a return, and had the seller provide me a shipping label, I sent them back, and never got my money back. The tracking showed that the package was delivered, but because the seller had provided me a label that didn't require a signature, Amazon said they wouldn't give me my money back, as the seller said they hadn't received the item.
At this point, I left the seller a review saying what had happened to me, and a few days later, I visited the seller's page, and noticed that my review was gone.
Not only does Amazon provide really shoddy support for people that have been scammed, they actually help protect the scammers in a way, by allowing sellers to remove a couple bad reviews from their page every month.
I mean, sure, but think about how big 4KB is, the tricks that are being used to create the scenes are crazy hacks using default Windows sound files and literally anything the executable can reference on the cheap.
Procedural content generation is really expensive (in general), but that's the beauty of it. You find a way to abstract the content into an algorithm, and then you can reduce the size of the assets, but you pretty much always need to pay the price somewhere.
But hey, I understand the sentiment, I wish Slack didn't consume 2 GB of RAM on my machine.
