Berkeley Computer Vision Class (opens in new tab)

In the interest of keeping you from making the mistake again, and possibly in company that wouldn't be forgiving, the term "ivy league" isn't a generic term for academically prestigious schools but refers to a specific group of schools in the northeast us. Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University.

Not that it makes any difference, but Berkeley isn't an Ivy League school.

Doubtful. Some of the already-scheduled course offerings feature Berkeley faculty:

It does not. The email that was sent out was sincere. As far as I know, there are some legal hurdles that are taking longer to resolve than was originally anticipated, relating for example to accessibility issues etc.

For me, it changed how I looked at statistics. It was irrelevant regarding programming in general.

I second this! I took on learning OpenCV and writing an object recognition program for my independent study in college. It's nothing spectacular, but if you 'get' the basics, you can do some pretty crazy stuff with combinations of the primitive operations.

It's one of the classes I regret not taking in college, so I signed up. But I remember hardly anything from my Linear Algebra -- and I never really developed an intuition for the grand significance of, say, eigenvalues.
