I'm double majoring in computer science and mathematics and am planning on pursuing a career in software engineering. Is the extra math superfluous?
>>
no dude the more maths the better

and stay in school, ya hear

proud of you xoxo

As far as I know, programmers use a shitload of problem solving and algorithms for their projects, so it would seem that it would benefit you immensely to get that extra education. That being said, having a dual major is also something that will differentiate you from the competition and give you a leg up on any of the pajeets that are on work visas.

Well it's not exactly going to hurt.
>>
Pretty much, unless you plan on getting a job that uses that specific kind of math. Most of the time, you won't use 80% of the math you learn on the job.

I took the same path anon with the double major, and I'm a software engineer now. It helps a lot to have an approach to problems that stems from your math classes. The logic you employ for writing proofs also makes you much better at reasoning through tricky parts of an algorithm. You'll start seeing a noticeable difference as a junior/senior (and in discrete structures if you take that) when problems that stump other CS majors will be ezpz for you. Keep at it, anon.
