Linear algebra is a great class. Prof. Silva might be perceived as a dry person sometimes; but the material more than makes up for it. If you have any interest in science, this is the class for you.

If you're ever going to want to build a computer out of transistors and wires, this is the class to take.  You work your way up from logic gates and down from assembly until they meet in the Dreaded Microcode Project.

Difficulty is not a primary concern here; the courses listed may range from Easy classes to Hard Classes. Questions of relevance: Did you leave the class with the sense that you learned something meaningful? Did your semester review sheets glow with high praise? A professor change your outlook? Find a course that you could not imagine someone going four years without taking? Please list and help make Williams a better place for all.

Linear algebra is a great class. Prof. Silva might be perceived as a dry person sometimes; but the material more than makes up for it. If you have any interest in science, this is the class for you.

Computer Science 237
