<p>Should I take differential equations as a CS major? </p>
<p>I am currently taking calculus II and linear algebra together and was planing on doing the same with calculus III and differential equations.</p>
<p>As a computer science major, should I take diff eqs? Should I stop at calculus III? </p>
<p>thanks in advance.</p>
<p>The lower division math courses most applicable to CS in general are discrete math and linear algebra. Calculus and differential equations may be useful for specific applications of CS.</p>
<p>Some upper division math courses like algebra and number theory may be useful in specific areas of CS like cryptography.</p>
<p>It is strong to be a CS major with a good background in math like (minor or double major with Math)
Take courses like:
Mutlivariable Calc, Differential Equations, Number Theory (optional), Linear Algebra</p>
