CS70 at the same time as 61A?

<p>How much experience do you actually need for CS70? It's supposed to be similar...or the same as math 55, right? </p>

<p>I wanted to take math 54 (Grunbaum), but the 55 and CS70 (Haiman/Vazirani) profs seem better? Or is it safer to just take 54, and 55/CS70 and math 110 in the spring?</p>

<p>As far as I know, the material in Math 55 and CS 70 is similar, but not entirely the same. (I’ve only taken the equivalent of Math 55 at a community college so far.) You probably won’t be using calculus or linear algebra, so don’t worry about that. If you’re an EECS or CS major/minor, then taking Math 55 will not satisfy the discrete math requirement - only CS 70 will work.</p>

<p>If I were you I would take math 54 and cs 61a in the fall and take cs70 and cs61c in the spring 2013. Good luck.</p>

<p>Hmmm ok, I’ll go with the original plan of 54 now, and CS70 later then…thanks!!!</p>
