/sci/ - Science & Math

compsci and software engineering should be different majors. maybe make compsci a speciality in the math department.

>>9503050
The real compsci path is the math departement with self studying books during free time (should not be difficult if you are already doing maths)

I am idiot and retard why you want to take this degree from me, dude what is your problem

>>9503050
knuth is the kind of book that cs students will keep on their bookshelves to feel important but will never ever read in their entire lives

>>9503199
In my university, it is

>>9503199
the trouble is compsci on its own is too academic, everyone who majors in compsci should be forced to take practical classes as well

>>9503050
Tbh I never understood why CS was its own field. There isn't that much theory. It should just be considered a branch of mathematics. And then have a field call computer engineering for actual programming. I say this as a CS major.

>>9503254
Why? I believe C"""S""" isn't supposed to be an engineering major. There indeed should be software engineering major where normies would learn how to develop normie stuff.

>>9503380
because realistically, maybe one student in a class of 30 has a future in academia. you're cheating the rest out of employability.

>>9503050
Because nobody knows what CS is. At my university, there's a master in CS whose curriculum only considers a very basic topic on CS, namely, automata and language theory.

>>9503210
That's actually what I'm doing.

>>9503220
Once a teacher told us something like this: "go to the library and admire that book; if you are adventurous, touch it; if you are even more adventurous, read it."

>>9503220
Ill have you know i got through half of the first one in a year.

>>9503734
that's actually impressive

>>9503737
Considerably less so given that I did a piss poor amount of the problems in the book. (Some seemed impossible on my level at least)

>the anti-CS redditor again
I know you feel something terribly bitter inside because you didn't choose CS and now make one digit less than all your friends, but there are people to help you.

>>9503773
>being the meme

>>9503782
>being this bitter about making less money after a doctorate then CS grads do after a B.S.

>>9503385
Why is this such an issue? That's fine. Nobody complains about that with other very theoretical fields . Let cs be real cs. College is not a job trainer

>>9503795
>being this bitter about making less money after a CS B.S. than Business B.A.

Stay jelly that you're not making 9 figures starting as a CxO, nerd.

>>9503795
Can you please leave? I'm cs and you're ruining the conversation. Nobody cares about money. I'm definitely not in it for the money. I'd rather be unemployed than work for that industry

>>9503806
Then switch to theoretical physics.

>>9503817
How the fuck is that related

>>9503795
>implying cs majors aren't the bitter ones

>>9503833
Stop

>>9503800
>Nobody complains about that with other very theoretical fields
plenty of people complain about it. I'm complaining about it right now. I would be happy to grant you the point that other majors should be less academically focused too

>>9503851
Then don't to to school if you don't want academia. People like you should not be accommodated at all

>>9503833
I know I know, you make 15 figures of neetbux and have sex with dozens of bimbos and cuck all the wageslaves and shit.

>>9503854
>Then don't to to school if you don't want academia.
you are the problem with universities today. even among PhDs, only around 10% become professors. your worldview a shit.

>>9503870
Why do you cite that statistic as if it means anything? It doesn't have anything to do with what I said.
When did I say you have to be a professor ?

>>9503880
>don't to to school if you don't want academia
>When did I say you have to be a professor ?
obviously logic is not your field

>>9503886
>academia =professor

Anon please you can't be serious

>>9503886
If you don't believe your subject has an intrinsic value from learning it you should not go to school for it.
Repeat that for every major
If you can't find one then don't go to school.

Assume every major gets you $0

>>9503256
>computer engineering for actual programming
sounds like you don't know what computer engineering is

>>9503907
It's the major that's competent enough for neither programming nor electronics.

>>9503893
I'll recap the conversation for you, because you've clearly forgotten it.
asshole.

>>9503925
This is nonsensical

>>9503934
Which words don't you understand?

>>9503945
Really? How old are you?

I guess I win this argument . I'm also better than you.

>>9503954
so you didn't have anything substantive to say? I thought as much.

>>9503918
its the major for would-be EEs who actually want to know how computers work instead of spending 10 classes studying power systems and E&M without knowing how to code for shit

>>9503957
So that's all you have? You concede cause you can't think of a counter point. Classic.

>>9503050
>ironically hate math
Is it ironic that they hate math or do they hate math but only ironically?

>>9504058
I meant to say unironically. But it perplexed me why someone would major in computer science without respect for math.
