Kill yourself.

>I'm a math major
>I hate math

ok.

>>7466486
the only other math available is geometry.

If you hate geometry, you are a failure anon

>calculus
Is this your first semester or something?

>Is this your first semester or something?

was hoping for advice on fields like linear algebra etc

>>7466526
>im 12
>wat iz dz

you can still become a mathematician in logic, combinatorics, algebra, category theory, topology, or geometry without using much calculus.

>>7466533
>without using much calculus
Well the Spam, Eggs, Spam and pancakes doesn't have much Spam in it.

>>7466533
Keep dreaming. λ calculus is everywhere, even in theoretical CS. Even if you get into logic, you'll soon encounter process calculi, so you're fucked, too.

You cannot fight it.
You cannot escape it.
You can only submit.

>>7466533
thanks yeah this is what i was looking for

the worst part is i will only get to check out most of that near the end of my bachelors.

im doing analysis and d eq and so next semester i will get to choose 300-400lvl stuff like that

kinda angry that i had to deal with this bullshit calc for 3 semesters when i have no ambition for it at all

i enjoyed linear algebra a lot

skip it and study groups instead.

>>7466540
what he forgot to tell you is that they're all connected so if you're a retard, you ain't gonna learn maths no good

>>7466540
Wiat. You've been studying mathematics for 3 semsters in a university, yet you have no idea what's in it besides calculus? You are one sodding muppet.

>>7466531
Babby calculus is kind of boring, but for example. analysis is much more interesting than calculus, even if calculus is what you get from analysis, it might not be for you even then, but it's a wait and see game here.

What I mean is you get to the more interesting stuff later on, when the course becomes more proof based (as some calc classes aren't).

>>7466540
Dude, seriously... what is bullshit about calculus?

>>7466539
theoretical cs is like sticking a firehydrant up my cock hole

literally some of these disciplines are for fucking weirdos

i took cs201 and seriously wondered how anyone would enjoy this and i looked around and everyone was weird as fuck

even weirder than my math bros

>hurr durr monster energy drink
>hurr durr new laptop
>hurr durr programming
>hurr durr logic lol XD

fuck off

>>7466539
kek'd hardcore. probably b8, but:

>implying usage of the word "calculus" means two disciplines overlap greatly.

lambda calculus literally has nothing to do with the calculus to which OP's referring.

>>7466561
I have no idea what "cs201" is, but I assume that you're studying in the USA, on a shitty university (CS is so notoriously bad in the US, besides a few selected unis, that they have to call the real thing "theoretical CS") and that you were probably in a "non-theoretical" CS course. Those are usually, esp. early in the degree, filled with weirdo neckbears.

>>7466564
:^)

>>7466561
This tbh, if you are going to take logic take it through either a philosophy department or a math department

>>7466486
Depends why you hate it.

>>7466493
>calculus
>math
kek
Also, everyone ITT should probably leave forever.

>>7466486
"What do you hate about calculus?" is the important question here.

>>7466486
Why OP? Calculus is the only useful branch of university level maths. Everything else is just fancy puzzles.

>>7466486
calculus is inherently classical and predicative


DROPPED

>>7466493
Discrete math is best math actually.

>>7466486
Calculus is the easiest shit ever.

>>7466820
He never said anything about calculus being easy or hard

>>7466820
>Women's studies is easy
still shit though

>>7466486
anything involving Symbolic computations/Computer Algebra

become an algebraist

>>7466540
You realize differential equations is just calc 4 right?

>>7466752
Except probability, actual analysis (ie analysis higher than calculus), and some branches of algebra. In others words more than 2/3 of what you study in uni besides calculus.

>>7466875
Who would call a Differential Equations class Calc 4? They are their own subject.

>>7466698
Why should I?
I've been on /sci/ since 2011.

>>7466875
I saw diff eqs in calc III and in calc IV saw series, complex variables, countour integrals, residues

>>7466880
>actual analysis (ie analysis higher than calculus

What is that?

>>7466922
>calculus IV - 4 - FOUR

>>7466923
This type of shit.

>>7466926
That's what I said, calc 4.

>>7466923
Anything explicitly grounded in general or metric topology, or in measure theory, perhaps even anything using the quantifier definition of limits.

>>7466486
probably because you suck at it lol

>hate calculus
switch to accounting, m8

>>7466486

Go to the math department adviser/chair/dean and ask for special permission to take "intro to proofs" (name varies greatly), matrix/linear algebra, abstract algebra, logic, set theory, etc.

>>7466539
WTF? Do you even know what lambda calculus is?

>>7466539
>>7466564
>>7467093
What's even funnier is that lambda calculus isn't really a major part of theoretical CS either.

>>7467093
OMG! Do you even know what site you are on?

>>7466815

>>7466486
You can skip calculus and go straight to analysis, I also hated calculus because my calc classes were mostly rule memorization and very little rigour

I'm a Maths major who found Calculus insufferably boring. Try look at it's applications. I still don't like Calculus too much but at least the applications were motivating and I got to learn some other shit about physics, geophysics, chemistry, etc. as well and it made me appreciate it that bit more.

>>7466486
change major

>>7466486
Fail out into physics or engineering.

>>7466533
Except calculus is easier than all that.
