## Advanced CS
After completing **every single course** in Core CS, students should choose a subset of courses from Advanced CS based on interest.
After completing **every single required course** in Core CS, students should choose a subset of courses from Advanced CS based on interest.
Not every course from a subcategory needs to be taken.
But students should take *every* course that is relevant to the field they intend to go into.

**Note 1**:
The Computation Structures courses assume prior knowledge of basic physics, mechanics in particular.
The relevant material will be reviewed in the Rice University 'Electricity and Magnetism' course, but not systematically.
If you are struggling with the Rice courses, you can find a physics MOOC or utilize the materials from Khan Academy:
**<sup>1</sup> Note**:
These courses assume knowledge of basic physics;

**Note 2**:
The Computation Structures courses are very, very long, and very hands-on.
A less hands-on alternative is here (note that the rerequisite physics knowledge is still the same):

A shorter, less intense (but still very advanced) alternative to Computation Structures is here:

ops-class.org is very, very hands-on.
A completely passive alternative, totally lacking assignments or exams, is here:
