A laptop is probably not the best idea for deep learning, but you can certainly use one as a terminal to connect to a much more powerful gpu-optimized server. I'm curious to hear what others are using for their deep learning setup.
No personal account yet, but tweeting about computer science and math issues on behalf of our education organization. Looking for interesting people/projects to follow.
Absolutely agree and it will be added to the list. Initially, we're interested in K-12 resources and something that might be a little bit easier for students still in school (although SICP can be used by advanced high school students). There do not seem to be that many good cs books for younger students, so any ideas on that front would be especially useful.
I'm the OP and originally posted the link and a brief review here: http://www.latestlesson.org/the-theoretical-minimum-modern-p.... If anyone has other suggested physics materials for those who are not professional physicists, I would be interested in reviewing them for our site. We're trying to create a comprehensive list of resources for STEM learners.
I would actually be interested in seeing these studies because it seems (based on my teaching experience) that how girls feel in a class with male students may depend to a large extent on how the teacher manages the class. I'm not even talking about teachers who discourage girls, but teachers who let boys dominate the classroom (which should not happen).
Tanya Khovanova, a gold medalist at the International Math Olympiad seems somewhat hesitant (although not completely against it) about girls-only math enrichment programs: http://blog.tanyakhovanova.com/?p=60. I wonder if there might be another co-ed approach that would encourage girls while not forcing them to be segregated.
