Oh dang my bad, this whole time i thought you were Jaeyun. Somehow i got that from one of your posts in the WGF thread.
Yeah, my girlfriend goes to UCSD, i go to UCBerk. I was there visiting her and then she told me about WGF so i went. Haha, good stuff.

Wow, I wish my university had a class like that. Do you get credits for that lab activity?
Edit: Also, if you guys find a theorem about the perfect number of workers or hatcheries or something like that, please post it, OK? I need all the mathematical help I can get so that I continue to rule the High D-/Low D skill bracket.

want a guest lecturer? ^_~

This is very interesting, I hope you can make some neat discoveries with a new approach. Looking forward to seeing lectures/notes on the website.

I've really enjoyed your guides and audios. I think we'd all be really appreciative if you came up to Cal to lecture.

lol hope the white people stand a better chance against koreans now that they have their own sc school. I can only imagine how many of these Korea has

This is AMAZING! I should start something like this @ Caltech, but I'm a lazy senior =P. Looking forward to your mathematical analysis.

From the syllabus: "There will be a final project where students will present and explain their contribution to the Starcraft Community. This may take the form of an essay detailing new theory or calculations, or an in-depth analysis of a significant game. Whichever final project is chosen will be displayed or published on a public forum for peer criticism."
I assume that "public forum" is TL?
EDIT:
Homework Week 3
Fighting Micro
1. A Terran Siege Tank in Siege Mode attacks for 70 damage, has 150 hp, and 1 armor. This
means that after two upgrades, a Siege Tank can kill another Siege Tank in two hits
instead of three. What are other significant damage combos? Be sure to investigate not
just upgrades and numbers of hits, but also unit group combinations. Which numbers are
worth noting?
2. When engaging a sunken colony defense with marines/medics, what is the optimal unit
positioning when sending to attack? (consider unit formation and which units should be
sent in ahead of others)
3. Is it more advantageous to attack in a line or to envelop your opponent’s army? Prove
your point using flux calculations.
4. Explain the concept of Lurker or Siege Tank “leap-frogging” and when it is a dangerous
threat. Compare when leap-frogging can be used and when all-out move can be used.
5. Discuss how the addition of medics calculates into rates at which Marines die. Be sure to
compare the rate at which marines take damage without medics to the rate at which
marines take damage without medics present. Assume no external sources of damage (no
Stim Packs and no Lurkers)
6. Why is it so important have enough Mutalisks to pass the threshold to kill enemy units
(marines, scv’s or medics) in one volley?
Wow, this is going to be the greatest class ever. you guys are so lucky haha.

Haha I showed someone the syllabus and they said,
"'Week 8: Harass'? They need a whole week to study how to flame people in Starcraft?

haha this is neat! man if only bw was just a bit more popular they could do this almost everywhere
|
omg i wish we had something like this at SJSU
|
|

Heh, that's really cool, and kinda ironic considering how much effort we made to get TSL featured.
|
So what is a flux calculation and how do I use it to prove #3? 
The homework looks harder than I expected.
|
Obviously the class cannot be a joke and there has to be legitimate materials taught throughout the class - so there has to be some challenging homework. However, keep in mind that the course is a weekly class so you've got a week to complete a few problems and get two replays. The instructor, Nimue, will probably go over all the stuff in the class regardless (as all teachers do), and after the class I doubt it will be difficult at all.
