<p>Planning my first couple of years at community college to transfer to a university computer science program, and the way I have it worked out right now I'd be taking discrete math in the summer in between Calc II and Calc III. Is that gonna screw me up?</p>
<p>I'm trying to get my calculus classes in as early as possible because they're prerequisites for the physics classes I need to transfer to the school I'm looking at. (Discrete math is a requirement for graduation but not for transfer.)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Yeah, the discrete math/discrete structures course is usually taken sophomore year in a typical CS program. You will need it for the other advanced CS courses, so if your 4-year university will take the community college’s equivalent, it would be OK to take the course.</p>
<p>Thanks GT!</p>
<p>I guess what I’m wondering is whether or not it’s going to confuse me to jump from calculus to discrete math and back to calculus again. I already checked and it transfers as the discrete structures class I need for the major (transfer.org ftw)</p>
<p>No more confusing than taking any other course. Plenty of students in college take sequences of prerequisites, but not necessarily in consecutive semesters due to scheduling needs.</p>
<p>It can only help you. You’ll be taking a math class in summer when most people don’t. Having your brain be in math mode is a good thing.</p>
