Are there any benefits that a CS degree gives over a math degree?

There are really four distinct categories here (more if you separate pure math and applied math, but I'm only going to consider pure math).

>CS, doesn't know math
This is 80% of CS graduates. They think calculus and linear algebra are the most complicated subjects in the world. They barely passed discrete math. They post threads on /g/ to reassure themselves that math is irrelevant. These people may as well have gone to a trade school for programming, because that's all they're good for.

>CS, knows math
Good combo, you can work on a lot of problems that your more brainlet classmates couldn't handle. You won't be stuck writing CRUD apps and mobile games.

>Math, doesn't know programming
Probably screwed unless you have amazing networking and can get into academia or finance or something.

>Math, knows programming
Essentially the same as the CS/math combo. Not having a CS degree is a potential issue, but in my experience if you can demonstrate skills it will be OK. As a bonus there's a certain segment of the population that thinks having a math degree means you're a genius, even if you specialized in something utterly devoid of practical application.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 24 18:21:37 2018 No.9696360 >>9696243 >Not to many companies look for a math major A math degree is respected, but why'd you seek one out?

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 24 18:42:35 2018 No.9696392 >>9695603 They learn a lot of CS and non-math things. If you wanna do CS stuff and get CS jobs, take a CS degree. If you wanna do math stuff and get math jobs, take a math degree. It's so obvious.

Just major in fucking engineering. Systems/computer engineers know a lot about building computer systems and all that that implies + more math + everything a cs major knows.
Electrical engineers know way less about computers and programming but a fuck ton, and I mean a fuck ton more math and physics, also (obviously) circuit design and by extension electronics.

Being a mathfag is career suicide and a fucking stupid thing to do, dont let the /sci/ memes get to you.

t. Last year of EE and did a math minor.

100k starting, nigger.

>>9695603
CS is basically math++, i.e. a CS graduate is considered elite, capable of mastering in 1 year what math graduates do in 2 years. Deal with it!

World's elite universities will tell you right away that as their CS student you are considered the best group they have and that math students go slower than you are, and increase your load to crazy levels As a CS student, you are expected to master (continuous) calculus, discrete calculus (discrete math proofs, hypercubes for parallel algorithms), optimization (machine/deep learning, compilers), category theory (functional programming), logic (up to automated proofs, i.e. including set theory), differential equations, topology (computational geometry, distributed algorithms), probability and statistics (reinforcement learning, queueing), number theory (cryptology), graph theory (almost everywhere)... There is no functional analysis needed yet, but it's heavily used for PhD degrees anyway. You need to know all this down to the level of proving theorems if you want to achieve anything in CS.

maybe you actually learn how to use computers? learn how to program?

as a physicist who double-majored in physics and mathematics as an undergrad, a lot of my job nowadays involves programming and i wish i did more than two courses in computer science as an undergrad. and mind you, the computer science requirements were a part of the physics degree, not the math degree; mathematicians never learn the first thing about objects and classes and inheritance / memory allocation, assembly language, compilers / any actually useful programming language.

(PS: if anyone responds with "muh matlab" or "muh mathematica" or "muh maple" i pity you. learn about real computing. that's an even lower shit-tier than labView, barely beating out MS excel)

you guys gotta remember that math and CS are not even the "nearest neighbors" to one another

did you know that someone working at CERN (a particle/nuclear physics laboratory) invented the world wide web? have you heard of the "LHC computing grid"?

physics computes way more than mathematicians. mathematicians have SHIT to say about computing
