Computer Science

<p>i am a freshman in college and i chose the major computer science. i have been looking more and more into it and wondering if it is right for me. I am a fan of technology and am willing to learn programming and html and anything like that, but i am not good at math, im just not a natural math person. i wondering how difficult it would be to get a 4 year degree in CS while being average at math i think i got a 23 on the act in the math section if that helps</p>

<p>You usually don’t need maths skills to become a good developer. However, strong mathematics does help you in CS. If you are still reconsidering your career path, it is best to take the help of counsellors in your area. When I was having problems with my maths skills, I took counselling advice from the Chopras. They helped me do a SWOT analysis on myself and decide which career path will be best. </p>

<p>OP, are you interested in programming or computer science? If you’re planning to study the former (esp. theoretical computer science), you will need some background in mathematics. If you’re interested in applied fields like web development, then high-level mathematics is completely irrelevant.</p>

<p>I think that computer science ultimately depends on your logic skills. Generally, people who are good at math are good at logics but people who are good at logics don’t have to be good at math. If you are truly passionate about computer science, I don’t think your math skill will hinder you in any way.</p>

<p>well i was originally planning for computer science but i looked into it and some of the classes i would need to take are calc 1 and 2 and i don’t feel confident taking thoughs classes, but i do want to find a good career field that makes good money working with computers, so i wasnt sure about programming or something similar to that</p>
