Learning Goals

Math:
-more statistics
-all about bayesian inference 
-linear algebra

Programming:
-more R
-a functional language  (probably Scheme or Haskell)
-Objective C
-More Java, because that's what UA teaches, but meh. 
-web backend stuff.

Hacking Skillz:
-vi(m)
-more regular expressions

Classes to take:
ISTA 410: Bayesian inference
ISTA 450: Artificial Intelligence
ISTA 421: Machine Learning (not sure if class exists yet)
CSC 345: Discrete Structures
CSC 445: Algorithms



To Do:
-Finish ISTA degree leaning towards mathematical/computational side.
-CSC minor, take the classes I want, don't worry about completing a second major. 
-Section Lead ISTA 130
-Continue to be involved in SISTA
-Get a good internship
-Keep learning stuff on Khan Academy
-Take opportunities to talk to smart people
-Try not to be too tied to short-term job with attractive perks if it starts to get in the way of anything else on this list.
