It's probably too late for that course, but IMO MIT's courses on edx are much better structured than on MIT OCW or whatever it's called.

Similar for me, but custom maps in wc3 instead.

Not sure about that, aren't immigrants (on average) more educated than the native population?

Sure. And why does that seem any more feasible than a non-constructive proof?

Your definition of macro is a lot more encompassing than how I see it used in SC2. It normally refers to just spending resources properly (constantly producing units and workers, setting up infrastructure, etc).

Of course.

There isn't any SC2 AI that's anywhere near as good as a player in an actual game. Sure, they can demonstrate some sick unit control, but that alone isn't enough to win games.

MIT, for example, doesn't require their CS students to take a differential equations class. So you're wrong in that respect. The rest is certainly doable though.
