It is not a degree offering, it is a specialty in Math with real applications in computer science. I was lucky enough to study under some people that worked with Dijkstra which developed some of the early graph algorithms, as you can imagine, it is super important in Networking (error correcting codes), Machine Learning, cryptography and just basic algorithm design. If you have ever heard the term "the travelling salesman problem" - this is a classic computational complexity problem you will teach to any computer science students in any institute that teaches it as a science instead of simple a vocation.
good insight. and you can sorta see how this sorta skillset would be useful in an analytics role. since he joined Utah, they started chucking so many threes. specifically, from the corner. maybe that's a result of him telling them to do so. obviously, that's oversimplifying the analytic input, but it's a gist. Also, the last two years, their offense has ranked 3rd and 1st, while defense has ranked 4th and 9th. i'd do whatever they did to replicate that in the regular season.
Well, analytics are used to perform tasks efficiently. Computational complexity is the study of how to solve these problems efficiently. It is sort of a meta-science, it is analytics for analytical processes.
notice I didn't say you were wrong...I said it was a problem, as in conundrum, as in riddle, as in solve this problem. It apparently broke google so much they forgot an 'l'
I like what I hear from this hire as well as Schmitz hire. Hoping this one day leads to better trades and good roster construction. Unfortunately, I'm not optimistic at all about this offseason.
at the same time, hopefully he can curb some of the fans unrealistic expectations of the trade values of the players on the team
