• I took this mod due to the positive experiences I had in BT3102! Even though the content is a lot harder for me as I can only algos but not math (Why is there no DP or Trellis or intuitive flows in BT4013 :<), I still enjoyed it even though I'm not likely to get as high a grade as I did for BT3102.
