Neuroethics, genetics and evolution, game theory.

When I saw that I almost threw up in my mouth. I took a graduate course in Optimization and the math was more hardcore than anything I have ever had, and a very brief introduction to Game Theory was included as a bonus lecture at the end lol. However I just looked at the description of that class and it looks like they are taking all of the math out of it and gearing it towards undergrads. An actual mathematical Game Theory class would be a graduate level pure math class. If you have seen Beautiful Mind, that is the mathematician who invented it.

We had to watch Beautiful Mind in my grad econ class. good movie. Russel Crowe i think?

Yeah Crowe. A good movie, movies about crazy mathematicians are pretty rare.

Well John Nash didn't exactly invent Game Theory, it had been around for years before his dissertation, usually credited to Von Neumann and Morgenstern's work. Nash is famous for his theory on equilibria in games, which is explained completely wrong in the movie

You want nerd alert... they have a class on Greek and Roman Mythology. I am freaking in!

[largegarlic]

Yeah, a lot of these classes look great. It is too bad I didn't see these earlier...my real semester is going to start in a couple weeks and I don't need to add extra classes. Maybe next summer...

I love that stuff, but there's too much reading for my current schedule.

I'm taking some stuff relevant to my work. Signed up for 3 courses.

Gamification - Aug through early Oct
Think Again: How to Reason and Argue (LGP related?) - Dec through Feb
A Beginner's Guide to Irrational Behavior - April through mid May

This is pretty cool. Interested in seeing how the courses are. Basically a structured way for me to keep up with business stuff.

I did also sign up for An Introduction to Operations Management. I'm hoping it will help me do better in the management part of my job. Sounded interesting, anyway.

I put that one on my list. Depends how gamification is going. If I can handle both, I will. The Gamification one should be fairly easy for me since I know what it is and use it regularly. If I end up doing the Ops Management, I'll bug you for lecture notes. Ha!

[Kaizer]

do they have 8th grade algebra?

I'll gladly share. lol.

This is really fantastic. I went to school for MIS and through 4 years on a dead-end project feel like I've lost pretty much anything I learned. Taking some of these along with some brush-up stuff will help me feel way better when trying to interview for new jobs.

I was totally eyeing that also. But I already signed up for 4 of them so I'll wait until these ones are done for that haha.

[AlexPKeaton]

Try Khan Academy if you are serious haha.

Just noticed that's at the end of September. I'll see if I can do that one myself. They have Astrobioloogy And Search For Extraterrestrial Life in January.

[Sarcastic]

They have a lot of cool stuff, though. Mathematical Thinking. Introduction to Logic. I'd dig right into it.

[Kraftster]

Neuroethics, genetics and evolution, game theory.

The latter will be helpful, should you ever choose to return to Warz.

start some games. NHR Games crashed after I godfathered everyone in Box Office Wars. I feel personally responsible.

[DontToewsMeBro]

MITs OpenCourseWare is still great for a lot of math/science courses.

My favorite part is in a special feature, where Ron Howard is asking Nash about the Nash Equilibrium and Game Theory. Nash, at a chalkboard, had done no more than define the dependent variable and the independent variable, and Howard's mind was blown about how brilliant it was.

[PghSkins]

Cool, I have always wanted to learn a little about programming, so... signed up for "Learn To Program."

That sounds awesome; it really does.

Mediating and moderating variables probably sent him into seizures.

I signed up for Ops Mgmt, Smart Growth for Small Business, How to Reason & Argue, and Intro to Logic. Two are this fall and two are in early 2013, but I forget which are when.

I'm in all those but the small business one since I work for a large mega corp

[AlexPKeaton]

Started the Algorithm one last night. So far so good. One thing I do not like compared to lectures in youtube, is that it is a lot more dry. When filming an actual lecture there is more interaction with the students (which can be good and bad, but mostly good in my experience), and more showmanship from the professor because of this.

[Troy Loney]

I signed up for the introduction to philosophy class in the winter. I looked at them this weekend and couldn't get myself to commit to a class in the fall.
