Title: Learning of first principles matters
Abstract:
To be really successful in your career not only you need to understand the
business context, but you need to understand the fundamentals of the domain you
are working in. In this lecture, we are going to walk you through multiple
examples of how college education was successfully applied in various
disciplines at world’s most successful companies. We will talk about the
application of building your own grammar, discuss how deep knowledge of
statistics can increase the revenue of your business or save lives, and why you
should understand programming language principles. The objective of this lecture
is to set the context for why it does matter to spend the next few years in
college.
