Generally speaking, is CS easier than EE? I'm thinking about making the switch just because I can't keep up with the workload. I just need a fucking degree

Yeah CS is easy

Easy EE is harder than hard CS.
Hard CS is basically math, and is maybe harder than hard EE.
Sounds like you want CS so that you can become a codemonkey.

I just need a degree, and I'm talking about undergrad here. I assume the pure math aspect of CS doesn't make itself apparent until very late into specialized fields of academia?

>>12503900
Correct.

>>12503900
you can make more half of your undergrad cs just programming different stuff like web/mobile/desktop/video games/databases/software testing etc.

sound good. the problem I have with EE is there is too much and too abstract math required. I've been trying to get behind it but it's been rough. How's math in CS?

Are you quitting after the first semester?
CS has calculus, discrete math and probability theory too.

>> No.12503971

>>12503951
Yeah, first semester. Discrete mathematics I have never done before but calc and probability theory is not a problem for me, I don't think it is at least. Proofs have been tough for me.

CS doesn't have calculus, what do CS fags do with calculus anyway?

what podunk college did you go to anon?

>>12503995
what do you use calculus for anon, to differentiate discrete recursions lol?

Pure bait, even the worse CS degrees require CS students to take Calc 1 and 2.

>> No.12504035

>>12504017
i'm not a cs fag, that's why i'm asking, can't you fags take a hint, cs deals alot with discrete stuff, so i dont get why they teach you calculus?

>> No.12504096

Sorry.
CS Historically has sprung out of Math and EE departments so sometimes the Calc classes are there because historically they just where required to take it. However Calc is still needed for people in CS if they want to do signal processing (which is also done by EE's but CS people also tend to study this field) of process optimization. Things like Computer vision, Data Science, AI, ect also require Calculus. There are more fields too I just don't want to say them all here.

To sum up, Calc courses in CS programs have there roots in tradition and historical precedent but are still of use in fields of CS. Software engineers getting CS degrees wont need it but someone who wants to do serious work in the CS field need it.
