For the ones that have been admitted to CMU, how many of you are planning to attend the math and c++ prep courses?

I am reading the course description right now and it sounds like they are going to be really basic... =S
 
Actually I don't think any of the university programs cover the programming materials they state. After graduation you see you only hold the basics or one concentrated part of programming. While studying programming (C++/VBA) at university I learned the basics: created some mathematical algorithms: integration, defining statistical distributions, 2 dimensional integration using Monte Carlo, some geometric algorithms, optimization, etc. But that's not enough C++. You should be learning it preferably before and after admitting.

University can give you basics unless you assume that the university course lasts for many many years. It's up to you to constantly upgrade your knowledge after.
