This is only tangentially related but the best course that actually made real analysis click for me was from Harvey Mudd, seems like a solid university: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL04BA7A9EB907EDAF

FYI it’s a liberal arts college.

Albeit, a uniquely STEM focused liberal arts college.

It’s legit and their grads are wicked smart.

Is there a collection of sample programs for HMMM?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Harvey Mudd is a college in California, mostly specializing in STEM majors.

How does it compare to Stony Brook?

Very different. HMC has fewer than 1000 students, all undergraduates, and is a private college, whereas Stony Brook is a public school with ~25k students including ~8k postgrads.

Great school. All- undergrad STEM education. Professors teach the classes, not TAs! And you have full access to the facilities of the 4 adjacent colleges (Pomona, CMC, Scripps, Pitzer), each prestigious in their own right.

Mudd is to MIT what Swarthmore is to Chicago.

I got all excited until I realized Harvey Mudd isn't Henry Mudd. This project would have had a lot more cred, in my book, if it were the latter.

Excited at first ... until he sold you the hMMM machine, took your credits and flew away, only for you to discover that this machine only programs in little endian brainf*ck!
