Do people need to be good at math

in order to succeed at a computer science program? Thanks.

is this a joke?

No. Why?

....

Yes. You would want math to formulate complicated calculations with codes.

But on the other hand, if you are just talking about basic programming, then you may do well without math. I suck at math and I was able to grasp coding language, and I use my knowledge to modify my blog.

You will be required to take Calculus 1 and 2, at a minimum. Some schools will also require Stats (algebra- or calculus-based) and/or Linear Algebra. Depending on where you specialize, you may need additional math courses in the upper-level division.

You’ll also need Discrete Math. That deals with logic and proofs. You’ll cover topics like set theory, number theory and combinatorics. Most people find it more challenging than computational math like Calculus, because you’re required to reason your way to a solution.

Thanks to all for replying.

Set theory, huh? I remember taking this many years ago, and did it ever own my butt.

I guess computer science as a major is out.

I wouldn’t rule it out. Since you’re familiar with the topic, why not review it again?
