math is required ๐
oh nah
they will reject you without maths
this is coding mate
i have no clue what you expected
mate math is more important than cs in a level
math is one thing you can't leave and highly recommend further math if it is offered
it'll be everything
i assume you want to go into CS?
im in my last sem of first year of software engineering, i haven't used a single AL maths concept
my course has a maths module called 'mathematical concepts for computing' but it's piss easy IGCSE level maths except proofs but u see my point
a big misconception about coding or programming in general is that maths is REALLY important
well its the fakest thing ever
Yeah
learning a coding language or coding is like learning english or french or any other language. going for that coding interview is like doing an english test (just with higher stakes ๐ )
ok thanks
yeah if you wanna do cs, you can't skip math lol
im noob so i dont know much abt this
if you wanna make websites sure go ahead, math is not needed
not really
but if you want to do anything in cs like machine learning etc, math is absolutely required
you do need maths to get in the uni tho ๐ญ
people usually call cs a fancy math major and a lot of people doing cs in masters usually have a bachelors in math
that's probably your best choice if you want to do computer science yeah
wait its different though cuz u gotta choose what ur doing in cs
o
whats SE
software engineering
software engineering
yeah that ig
then u dont need physics
are you planning to do a SE major or cs major in clg?
whats clg
college
isnt SE in CS?
no
common misconception but no
oh
SE is a small part of cs
cs is about the hardware
what?
bru
se has it in its name its abt the software
cs is not about hardwares what ๐ญ
well i wanna learn about hardware and software bboth
bro i go to cs lectures all the time theyre literally my 1 computer architecture module expanded into 3 modules
๐ญ maybe that's first year cs lectures
yeah probably
brhh this is so complicated
but this makes it more inclined towards the hardware
def more inclined than se yeah
like ssd,hdd,gpu,cpu and that stuff?
then whast the diff
SE is all about development of software
while cs might go into like the PHYSICS going on down in the cpu transitors SE isnt concerned with that
that's usually computer engineering tho
i go With SE then? which one pays more
bro ๐ญ
Software Engineering Major:
Focus: Software engineering is a subset of computer science that concentrates on developing software solutions from start to finish.
Curriculum: Courses typically cover coding, algorithms, math, operating systems, object-oriented design, electrical engineering, and logic.
Degree: Specialized software engineering majors are less common but usually result in a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree.
Career Paths: Graduates can pursue roles like software developer, systems programmer, and computer and information systems manager.
Computer Science Major:
Focus: Computer science encompasses theoretical and applied aspects of computer hardware and software, emphasizing discovery and understanding.
Curriculum: Studies include statistics, mathematics, computer programming, machine learning, cyber security, artificial intelligence, and ethical considerations.
Degree: Offers a broad range of career paths and opportunities in various industries.
Career Paths: Potential roles include web developer, data scientist, database administrator, computer and information research scientist, and information security analyst.
๐ญ you gotta take some time and see what you need
are you going into programming just for the money?
see if u have the braincells for cs
ok i go with SE
and becoming a software engineer for the money is just depression cuz before u get actual money ur gonna be working in shitholes
u have to enjoy coding
yeah i like it
are you sure
i even coded a game once but then quit
i made it like u go into it, theres play button, u clikc then ur character spawns
wow thats a great start :DD
thanks
u should code in ur free tiem
idk where to start
if you do game dev and go a bit deeper, you'll realise the copius amounts of math you need
what type of math
stats
algebra, geometry, stats, vectors
like ie quaternians
idkw ahts that
these are all AL concepts
ok
not into Further maths even so ur still good
ok
