Dear All,

It is a pleasure to announce that the admission to the two-year MSc in Computer Science at the University of Genoa, Italy is now open.
The Master is entirely taught in English. In the last two years there have been around 50 students (with over 50% coming from abroad, mostly from North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Far East).
This year the Master offers a revamped version of its curriculum in Data Science and Engineering with tracks on:

Artificial Intelligence
Business Intelligence
Internet of Things, and
Visual Computing

We are also launching a new curriculum on Software Security and Engineering.
The Data Science and Engineering curriculum welcomes students with scientific and technological background, with computer science skills and knowledge mostly in the programming area.
The curriculum on Software Security and Engineering requires a bachelor in Computer Science.

Prospective students can find denoscription of the MSc content and organization at https://courses.unige.it/10852 , along with instructions to apply.

This website compiles neatly detailed Python tutorials on a wide range of topics: https://t.co/EGQLfaWDXy

Very useful for those who want to get a nice overview of various practical use cases. https://t.co/g73eOYEgMp

#Mindscape , Episode 5: Geoffrey West on Networks, Scaling, and the Pace of Life



If you scale up an animal to twice its height, keeping everything else proportionate, its volume and weight become eight times as much. Such a scaling relation was used by J.B.S. Haldane in his famous essay, “On Being the Right Size,” to help explain certain features of living organisms. But scaling relations go much deeper than that, and they are often much more subtle than the volume going as the cube of the length. Geoffrey West is a particle physicist turned complexity theorist, who studies how features from metabolism to lifespan change as we adjust the size of an organism — or of other complex systems, from cities to computer networks. His insights have important implications for innovation, sustainability, and the best ways to organize life here on Earth.
