>CS is for brainlets
That’s all you fags ever said and now I’m about to fail out, this is hard as fuck
What the fuck

If you're in a good uni CS == discrete maths.

>> No.10925758

>>10925749
i.e. useful math

When people say that here they mean brainlets compared to Maths PhD.

It really depends on the institution. There is a lot of variety in the level of theoretical depth depending on where you are.

Are linked lists really that hard to you? I found programming pinstripes too hard, you can trial and error through everything unlike with physics or math which you actually have to be precise and shit.

Not the OP, but you're talking about 1st/2nd year stuff. At a good institution in your final year you can end up studying computational complexity theory, quantum computing, category theory, computational neuroscience etc.

>> No.10925795

>>10925790
At that point, you're basically studying grad level CS i.e. math

>> No.10925862

>>10925795
Well you're correct there, at my uni the courses are charcterised as postgrad level, despite being on the BSc Hone programme. But even the undergrad level courses will include computability theory, complexity theory and type theory if you opt for them.

this. I have a friend who was originally from a bigger, more prestigious uni and had to change to here because the CS there was fucking insane. The introductory course taught recursion on the first day

Am OP, and he’s thats pretty much it
No it’s not fucking linked lists or arrays that are killing me

CS without heavy math is not CS

How do I tell if my University's program is good?
Like, could anybody judge whether or not I signed up for a joke based on these required courses?

Hard to tell with the upper division. Kind of vague. got the course descriptions.
The foundations look solid.
