What do you need to know to go to university to become a software developer?

Question

Programming

It just so happened that 2 topics hooked me very strongly: virtual reality and artificial intelligence. And it would be interesting to program such things, I think.
Questions:
1) What knowledge should an applicant get before entering? At what level should one know certain disciplines in order to get a job with the task described above?
2) What literature should be read?

Answer 1

1. Russian language, mathematics, physics. Because the probability of admission depends on these items.
2. Textbooks on these subjects.
Get ready for the fact that at the university you will learn general disciplines, and those that you want to study, you will have to master yourself.
In Russia, universities graduate people with a broad outlook, but professionally impotent.

Answer 2

To engage in artificial intelligence, you need to have a natural one with all the ensuing consequences. This is a necessary and sufficient condition.

Answer 3

Google it all: interneturok.ru, android application - math tricks, Yandex.Ege
Stepik - all of the above is free, mobile and very useful.
While studying at the university , pull up English , without it there’s no way - for myself I chose the lingvaleo extension for the browser - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/linguale... (it’s convenient to collect unfamiliar words in a dictionary and repeat them)
and ororo series with subtitles ororo.tv/ref/796188 for ref you 10% extra time, one hour a day for free
Machine learning courses https://ru.coursera.org/learn/vvedenie-mashinnoe-o... .There there is alsohttps://www.coursera.org/specializations/machine-l... and https://www.coursera.org/specializations/machine-l... - but it's paid and difficult (you can't do without higher mat)

Answer 4

Apply for applied mathematics and computer science in some good university. There you will definitely pass neural networks and machine learning.
If you don't like math but are interested in computers, then choose applied computer science in economics.
For admission, depending on the university and specialty, mathematics, Russian and either physics or computer science.
