Should I major in math or computer science?
Honestly, if you can work hard and tough your way through it I would highly suggest that you major in Computer Science. I’m kicking myself for not majoring in Computer Science and I have the same issue as you (not a math guy). But if you ask a lot of people the math truly isn’t the most important aspect.
Is a computer science engineering degree worth it?
That’s not to say a CS degree wouldn’t be nice to have, but if you’re certain you’re going to bomb out on the math portion, then you’re just going to waste your time and money before switching majors. Math is more of a factor in Computer Science Engineering, but like others have said it depends on the college.
Why is calculus required for a computer science degree?
Because, a Computer Science degree is not just starting and ending with Calculus for the math requirement. You’ll have to be proficient in College Algebra and Trigonometry before you’re admitted into Calculus because the skills build on one another. In addition to those classes some programs require Discrete Math.
Should I major in computer science or network engineering?
I know I will more than likely not use math in the career I want to pursue (Network Engineering) but I want the C.S degree because it is more valuable to employers. Honestly, if you can work hard and tough your way through it I would highly suggest that you major in Computer Science.
