Sup nerds,

Why aren't you doing a double major in Math and Computational Theory, anon?

>Math enables you to think abstractly and understand eternal truths (I don't need to convince you guys why math is best tier)
>CS makes you employable, and by specializing in theory, you don't have to get a code monkey job.

How is this not the best STEM combination? I get to do this and graduate in 4 years at U of T(Math major + CS specialist with focus in Theory of computation)

Because undergrad CS is a horrific waste of time. Just self study it.

You could make a list like this for literally any program of study.

I did read the image, and yes messah, lotsa math on there.

The point is you can make a list like this for any program of study; this image is bad evidence that CS is "self study-able".

Now what is self studyable is programming - that you def don't need uni for. So if you claim that "CS is self-studyable", you're only right if you're just talking about programming

Even a business major can self study CS in less than a year

I'm doing what the OP is talking about, and it really seems like a good way to go about doing things, at least for me.

It basically just adds a little bit of extra add-on
fluff that makes my math degree more employable. What is wrong with that?
