These people rapidly develop a burning hatred of undergrad CS classes (and CS majors) and leave for the math and engineering departments so they can spend their class time actually learning material at a decent clip.

absolutely, assuming your SE program isn't a joke

it should require at the very least calculus 3, some form of linear algebra and diff eq on top of having regular computer science like data structures, digital logic, etc. With that core in mind, it will also have software engineering courses that focus on applicable skills, like understanding and building software requirements for a project, probably some project based course where you're expected to use semi modern tooling like git and some static analysis tools with some sort of semi agile setup, classes focused on unit testing / design, etc.

Of course it's undergrad math so I haven't even touched troo mathematics, and there are people who do it with hardly any struggle.
Seriously though, reminds me of some math thread a few days ago and some dude mentioned he can explain how he got the closed function for sum(k=1 to n) of k^2 and some CS fag said "we all know how to do induction dude".

Evaluation the first p+2 partial sums of ∑k^p

It's the laziest way of doing it.

A decent one. It's probably more funded than the math and physics departments combined.
There are good professors who challenge you, but they obviously have more emphasis on the mathematical aspect and overdo workload.

Holy shit you kids are young. There's no difference between a CS degree or an engineering degree or an English degree or a basket weaving degree.

I was in chemistry for a while. It's actually way easier than CS at the undergrad level, but that's not saying much since CS is easy too.
Most natural science fields like chem, physics, bio, etc. pretty much guarantee that you'll be an academia cuck your whole life. Either you bottom out at the bachelor's level and get a shitty job as a lab tech for $40k a year, or you get a Ph.D. and your career revolves around writing research papers. I don't find that lifestyle to be appealing at all.

Can't talk for the anglo countries but CS (it's called Informatics here) most definitely has it's place in Germany. It's the main degree here if you're about to get into anything in this field.

Not all math bachelors are created equal since everything pass differential equations is an elective. CS+math doubles always seem to take the high school level classes like naive set theory, number theory (the kind without algebra or analysis), graph theory (no algebra), combinatorics (no analysis), "advanced calculus" (their "analysis" done at the level of a rigorous calculus book like Spivak/Abbot), "algebra" (at Fraleigh/Gallian/Pinter crash course level), linear algebra, etc and avoid any real exposure to mathematics.

1. Yes you can get very far with book learning alone without access to experts or the latest published research papers, to the point of being able to reach the cutting edge. See Ramanujan.

2. No, even if you are a genius and you manage to acquire the latest research papers, you will lack the background knowledge required to understand them. There are typically no books explaining cutting edge research, meaning you have to be in contact with the researchers to understand their research.

3. The fundamentals of CS and math are easy to learn but when proving theorems it is easy to make mistakes, this is where having fellow mathematicians and computer scientists comes in handy. If you insist on self-study and building on theorems that nobody else has checked be prepared to face the possibility of everything falling down later on.

I dropped my shit when they said they learn more math than engineering or especially physics majors. Got a few friends majoring in physics. They have more math requirements depending on what they study than eng., for eng. it's mostly do it in your free time or take class if you want to get better at it or you actually want to understand certain courses better. Plus, your degree doesn't make you badass, you can be still fucking stupid with a physics degree (experience). You make a degree sound badass when you actually know what you're doing.

I get why pure CS fags think that way though, most of them don't know shit and they're too stupid (mostly) to actually do a research with heavy math (and they can't into physics or engineering), so all they do is call REST APIs at work (cause they only get the shit jobs) and cry on 4chin. CS ed. is mostly a joke too. Their calculus is joke tier compared to engineering/physics calc. Only a few discr.math and algo. courses are worth something.

CS is okay I guess. I did that and philosophy.

Most of the mathematics in CS is much simpler than the formal logic courses I chose to take for my philosophy degree (which was ~70% of my philosophy electives.)

It was just really jarring seeing how differently the faculty treat CS students in comparison to the students in philosophy classes though. All the CS profs treated us like we were idiots.

Also, if you think CS majors suffer delusions of grandeur, you haven't met the stereotypical self-aggrandizing philosophy majors. The CS majors are pretty tame by comparison, but definitely more socially stunted.

The fault here is the concept of "employability". The old unis, in the Humboldtian sense, was places where the students could pick courses as they wanted and create an exam of their own.

And in the 50s you got a job just like that with your senior high school degree. Now the senior high school is high school v2.0 and the uni is senior high school v2.0.

Of course there's plenty of valid stuff at the uni. But the signal to noise ratio is too low.

The degree is literally a piece of paper. You are judged on work experience, yes, but you do realise that what you do during your time in college is considered experience too?

Computer science is not a degree in software development. No serious employer thinks this.

I have a degree in computer science (because of all the computer science math), but all my electables are basically hardware courses. I currently work as a hardware engineer and I spend more time doing Verilog and using oscilloscopes than programming.

>CS has easily the best job opportunities than any science.
Indeed. Basically most degrees have better job opportunities than a pure science degree. So if you want good job opportunities then sure CS is one way to go.
>Enjoy being a cuckademic the rest of your life.
I don't know where you get that.

I wasn't talking about job opportunities there though.
Lot of CS grads can't actually program (on a competent level). So they get shit tier jobs if they get any.
You mostly have two choices either do the math part academically or in the industry(most grads are way too stupid to even understand some of the more complex algorithms) or get into the industry as a programmer.
The job you get depends on how good programmer you are though. Most grad guys are doing exactly what I wrote there: calling REST APIs all day and writing "business apps". All that shit is fucking boring.
In fact the problem with pure CS is that it's boring and very narrow-minded compared to engineering (especially when you study something interdisciplinary). At least for me it is.
>>
>>52974179
You have valid points but my point was that if you want to be a programmer, you need a CS degree, there's no way around it, maybe in America you don't but there's no way you'd find a job without one, no matter how good you are.

So, yes, lots of CS grads will be lost after they get their degree because they're either too stupid or they haven't worked on their skills by themselves and expected to get good just by going to school but that's pretty much the same for any science and eng.

Agreed.
>You have valid points but my point was that if you want to be a programmer, you need a CS degree,
I can mostly agree with that too. I'm from Europe though and looking around here a CS degree is not a must, but a related degree is. Although a CS degree tops it. With a related degree you need a lot more effort and a company which can actually think.
>>
>>52975182
>>52975057
Oh, shit. What I forgot to add is that "my problem" is that CS doesn't weed out incompetents as much as engineering does. I see this at my uni, but others from other unis say this too. Seeing the curriculum of the programs I can see the difference.
For CS the Mathematical Logic, Formal languages, Complexity theory, Automata Theory and related classes are the ones usually making students shit themselves, but because they usually ask them to solve some well-known type of problems they can pass it.
On the other hand in electronics and digital electronics laboratory you need to make a report and actually design a circuit and build it and debug it. Calculus is also lighter for pure CS guys.
In signal and systems course you need to be able to open a fucking book and review the required math from calc in depth and learn math which wasn't covered there that much to actually understand the topic so you can pass the exam. Control theory heavily builds on sigsys too.
In microcontroller lab. you can't copy-paste from stack-overflow you need to actually program the device and you need to read the circuit diagram to see how it's connected.
All in all CS usually misses the real do this yourself kind of classes or when it has them it's not taken seriously enough.

>>52975057
I think what you mean to say is if you have a CS degree, you have to be a programmer.

Those higher-level CS courses are a JOKE. There's barely any math in CLRS, there's barely any math in Sipser, there barely any math in any book CS majors claim to be "basically just fucking applied mathematics".

CS undergrads don't go beyond intro texts. Many of them don't even get to those texts or don't do them fully.

>>52976699

Every CS program needs that more than anything else

>>52979462

Because CS majors tell normies they're smarter than EEs & co and normies believe them. Of course EEs are going to get mad at their reputation being tarnished.

It's pretty much a trash major for people not smart enough for any of the aforementioned professions.
