Hey everyone, this channel has had insane growth over the past 2 days! First of all, thank you all for all the support and kind comments. I really appreciate it!
I've had a few days to reflect on future content of this channel, and I want to share some of my thoughts with you all. Up until the FFT video, this channel has mostly covered standard data structures, algorithms, and problem solving methods that you'll see in most introductory computer science courses at the college level. This type of content is obviously still valuable to people just started out in CS and I absolutely still want to make some of this foundational content.
But at the same time, the positive feedback of the FFT video gives me confidence that you all also want to explore some more fairly advanced concepts you will likely not see unless you go into some "upper division" CS/EE courses. It also allows me to possibly branch into different subfields and related fields of CS. I already have a few ideas for content that can delve into some interesting content in computer graphics, probabilistic/random processes, signal processing, optimization, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc.
I think this content is equally valuable and some of the most rich and interesting ideas in CS occur at this level. The tricky aspect of these videos, however, is by the very nature of topics covered, there is a lot more prerequisite knowledge that comes in to truly give justice to these ideas. When I eventually branch into some of these advanced topics, you will see some linear algebra, probability, multivariable calculus, etc. As always, I will always try to make the videos as engaging, clear, and accessible as possible, but there will be some concepts I will have to assume some prior knowledge. I truly believe, however, newcomers to CS will still find these videos valuable and interesting on some level.
I'm putting a poll to query interest as well now that the channel has grown a lot more, and as always feel free to let me know your thoughts in the comments.
