Comment on Pick some unrelated lectures, they said.

Linear algebra, absolutely. But I kind of hoped to get through my whole degree (mostly EE) without properly knowing statistics. Hah. First I take an elective Intro AI class, and then BioInf. I guess I hate myself.

Well you need a good handle on probability to understand transistors these days at least.

  EE wizards are also the keepers of information theory, which is all just probability, and is pretty much the definition science of our modern era.

Oh you can get through most degrees without properly learning linear algebra or statistics.

But those 3 are the knowledge that will pop here and there on everything you do, and leave you confused, incapable of understand things, and incapable of extending things if you don’t know them. Usually, you won’t even have to calculate anything, you just have to know them.
