matlab, that's about the only useful thing about CS.

I haven't done much programming, but I took a MATLAB course last semester and enjoyed it. I'll probably take a few main sequence CS courses before I head out.

electrical engineering . By the government standard. We are forced to learn 30% of the CS workload. Its fucking so dumb yet so use full since I don't have to deal with the fucking assembly language.

I guess I should specify that I enjoyed genetics/DNA modeling most of all.

I'm a math major and some cs stuff gets me thinking about constructivism or other foundational issues, but all in all cs is a bore

physics major.

built my first computer when i was 13. learned perl and c# when i was 15. attempted to become A+ cert'd when i was 17 but never cared enough to actually pay to take the test. i have no interest in a cs-field because i like computers as a hobby, not as a career. however i still run *nix and love using LaTeX whenever i can find an excuse to.

I think most of the course is uninteresting shit that i don't really care at the least. It's the more logic/math side of Computer Science that i like. Since my course offers VERY few mathematics (the maximum your learn is Calculus II, babby Linear Algebra and Graph theory) i'm having to learn a bunch of things from textbooks.

CS major, it's fun and interesting. I like everything, but what I love the most is information security. Encryption really gets me going. Maybe it's because I'm a bit paranoid, but everything just seems so useful and interesting! It's like playing detective, but with deeper implications.

Am I the only one who always thinks Counter-Strike when someone says CS?

I'm a biochemistry major and for some reason chemists tend to be inept at computers, especially when it comes to programming anything.

I've found myself a very comfortable niche that makes my position in my lab very comfortable and nearly untouchable due to my programming and general *nix skills.

Yes. You should also kill yourself.

engineering major here (not sure which kind yet)

took a babby's first programming course and it seems like a useful thing to have, not planning on going into software/electrical/computer engg, but I like computer as a hobby (building them yourself).

Your code monkey shit is not SCIENCE.

What you’re referring to as a computer, is in fact, a von Neumann computer, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, the applied von Neumann model of computation. The computer is not a computing system unto itself, but rather another abstraction of a fully functioning computational model made useful by state, mutable data types, and defined by early realizations of computing such as the Colossus and the ENIAC. Our fixation on von Neumann languages has continued the primacy of the von Neumann computer, and our dependency on it has made non-von Neumann languages uneconomical while limiting our development as a computing species. The absense of full scale, effective programming styles founded on non-von Neumann principles has deprived designers of an intellectual foundation for new computer architectures.

>How much do you enjoy your CS course?
I greatly enjoy it.

Luckily, the board is called "science & math".

>>4368928
Yes and CS is non-SCIENCE and non-MATH bullshit that doesn't belong here.

this is not news to anyone
