Post your CS hate me-mes

>Not a single ai/ml/ds job even so much as look at someone with a math or stats degree,
not true at all. stop being such a butthurt CSfag

Only useful things are cryptography, data structures and algorithms. Everything else is bound to be outdated within a few years.

And if you're in uni, you're much better studying math and minoring in CS while taking the very few useful CS classes (like data structures and algorithms)

fuck off back to /g/

Because this thread is about engineering and CSfags always come here pretending to be engineers when they don't belong here.

>Mathematics Requirements in Computer Science
>While nearly all undergraduate programs in computer science include mathematics courses in their curricula, the full set of such requirements varies broadly by institution due to a number of factors. For example, whether or not a CS program is housed in a School of Engineering can directly influence the requirements for courses on calculus and/or differential equations, even if such courses include far more material in these areas than is generally needed for most CS majors. As a result, CS2013 only specifies mathematical requirements that we believe are directly relevant for the large majority of all CS undergraduates (for example, elements of set theory, logic, and discrete probability, among others). These mathematics requirements are specified in the Body of Knowledge primarily in the Discrete Structures Knowledge Area.

>We recognize that general facility with mathematics is an important requirement for all CS students. Still, CS2013 distinguishes between the foundational mathematics that are likely to impact many parts of computer science—and are included in the CS2013 Body of Knowledge—from those that, while still important, may be most directly relevant to specific areas within computing. For example, an understanding of linear algebra plays a critical role in some areas of computing such as graphics and the analysis of graph algorithms. However, linear algebra would not necessarily be a requirement for all areas of computing (indeed, many high quality CS programs do not have an explicit linear algebra requirement). Similarly, while we do note a growing trend in the use of probability and statistics in computing and believe that this trend is likely to continue in the future, we still believe it is not necessary for all CS programs to require a full course in probability theory for all majors.

CS majors barely know precalculus.

Daily reminder that majoring in CS is a waste of time and will only lead you to be a code monkey alongside pajeets.

If you want to know how computers work then CpE and EE are far superior since CS majors don't know jackshit about hardware.

If you're interested in CS theory then math is superior because CS programs barely scratch the surface in TCS and they only require you to do precalculus.
