physics and machine learning
"machine learning and likelihood free inference in particle physics" https://figshare.com/articles/NIPS_2016_Keynote_Machine_Learning_Likelihood_Free_Inference_in_Particle_Physics/4291565 presentation on how to find patterns in very complex data ================================
discrete math
"wolfram on Solomon Golumb, shift registers, polymonimals on finite fields" http://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2016/05/solomon-golomb-19322016/ The Most-Used Mathematical Algorithm Idea in History "Finite (Galois) Fields" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field As usual, wikipedia has a nice first-sentence description. Applications in crytography, coding theory, ... Your course will cover crypto it seems, cool! http://mathworld.wolfram.com/FiniteField.html Wolfram also interesting. ================================
