>>he turns to me asks if I've played the new smash
>>"no"
What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>professor asks how to factor n^2 -3n-5n
Why would he even ask that? Is he seriously reviewing college algebra?
>>random clash of clans sound plays out full volume in the middle of class
How would you know it's clash of clans?
>>people actually don't understand set notation
CS majors in general don't understand.

>how do people suffer through an entire semester of this class?
Why the hell are you even taking it?

That is discrete math for brainlets.

The Joint Task Force on Computing Curricula by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) & IEEE Computer Society only requires college algebra for SE and CS majors. Discrete "math" books are written with college algebra as the only prerequisite.

>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 (DS) 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 (reflected by the increased number of core hours on these topics in the Body of Knowledge) 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.
