Should I keep studying CS if I dread math?

The "math" in CS is an absolute joke

>> No.7513954

>>7513939
why? We also have to take calc 1 -> 3 along with math majors and stats, linear algebra and discrete math

Those classes are a joke

what math classes do engineers and math majors take that are so much challenging than those listed?

>> No.7513995

>>7513974
PDEs
Complex analysis
Functional analysis

You're probably bad at math because you're apporaching it wrong.

Never look at the big picture when doing math, break into as many small pieces as you can and start there, piece by piece.

measure theory
abstract algebra
differential geometry

>> No.7514012

>>7513954
Only Calc3 if it includes calculus of vector fields and linear algebra if it is entirely proof based are non-joke classes of that list.

Some examples:

Galois Theory
Abstract algebra
Topology -> Algebraic topology
Real Analysis
Functional Analysis
Measure Theory / Modern Analysis
Complex Variables
Elliptic Curves
Commutative Algebra
Algebraic Geometry
Homological Algebra
College Geometry
Category Theory
Differential Geometry

a math major will probably take all of these and more. an engineer will probably only see 2-3. A CS dork will probably see none.

Nope. They'll all take real/complex/algebra/measure/topology but the others really vary by institution and may not even be offered annually.

>Giving up because you're not immediately grasping new concepts.
Why not try fucking harder and practice critical thinking, you're not in college algebra anymore...
