As a CS+math major, feels good

>>7903885
90% of all CS+math double majors half-ass the math major and take the watered down courses popular with future high school math teachers and actuaries. The same is true of 75% CS+physics double majors.

Have people not seriously considered that much of the "evidence' that CS majors are incapable of things pure math/physics is simply anecdotal and the vast majority of CS/CE majors just don't really need to do anything else to get a job (vs the fuckload of other STEMies who end up having to learn to program to even be relevant?) That and that a lot of online programming courses have been optimized for people to quickly learn how to play code monkey?

Not exactly mind blowing stuff here.

Wow, you sure are smart and beat us. Hope you enjoy being controlled by the idiot idea men and business majors.

Dont worry man that "cs is a meme" meme will propably fade earlier or later.
People had been bashing Biology, Engineering and Economy before. (Appaerently its popular to bash CS at the moment)

Biology is legit over saturated in undergrad though

Economics is kinda similar to CS in how undergrad is dumbed-down af and that there's a stark difference between grad and undergrad.

Good for you, just beacuse you study a little bit of complex- and fourier analysis doesn't mean that you wont end up as the other retarded computer scientists.

>Oh look, the meme of watered down courses again.

But there are watered down versions of all the more involved classes in many universities. The book the class uses is a dead give away to find out if it's watered down

watered down Analysis: Spivak, Gaughan, Ross
honors Analysis: Rudin, Pugh, Apostol
watered down Abstract Algebra: Pinter, Fraleigh. Gallian
honors Abstract Algebra: Artin, Herstein, Jacobson

>Stay mad m8y, just remember you'll likely have to delve into walking to actually be competitive in a job hunt for all but the most niche fields.

Anyone who says the walking science major is a meme is obviously butt blasted and jelly that they have to learn walking to get real jobs. Soon this "walking science major is a meme" meme will die off and we'll go back to being the most respected science major around.

No, just look at the major requirements and syllabi for CS courses at top schools and see for yourself. Their courses barely cover a third of the material any good STEM course covers. Seriously, take a look at what counts as a YEAR of "cs math":

I've spotted schools that use it for their "advanced calculus" class.
