You have to pass middle school algebra first.

What, algebra?
Are you scared because somebody used sigma somewhere?

Pick one.

>highly advanced mathematics
You're either a retard that failed precalculus or you've gotten yourself into MIT, you MIT nigger.

Algorithms was probably the most mathematically involved class in my program, not including Calc3. Even then, it wasn't hard stuff.

>>56109145
>this really happened

>>56109145
Can you describe what this highly advanced math looked like?

>>56109192
>>56109260
Listen fuckheads, I know algebra. I'm talking about symbols I've never even seen before.

>>56109261
probably this. cs 101 is already laughable, i guess because of people like OP who can't even count

>>56109145
>complaining that they're teaching cs in a cs course

>>56109299
Let me guess: they were some greek letters?

>>56109282
Like for example what the fuck is this rounded d?

>>56109314
Yes tons of them

>>56109262
Not MIT but similar level.

>>56109317
Do you mean δ? (lower-case delta)

>>56109317
You didnt post it but it's orobably lowercase delta which is likely to denote a derivative. If you don't already know calculus highschool failed you dude.

>>56109325
>>56109330
I'm fucked

Time to read that famous CompSCI math book. I'll probably be better off becsuse of it in all aspects of life anyway.

>>56109342
good luck OP. It's not so bad.

>>56109324
So what class are you talking about?

>inb4 some AI class
My school has insane shit going on in the AI classes. Took one look at the whiteboard after an AI class was dismissed, I'm glad that's not my concentration.

>>56109324
>>56109342
>Yes tons of them
There is no need to get hung up on that shit. They're just symbols.
There is usually some meaning attached to them, but that depends on what you're doing, and they would teach you that shit.

>>56109342
you may even start to enjoy it. I know that I wasn't incredibly interested until I took a db algorithm design course. ended up doing my masters at UWaterloo in it.

>>56109361
Machine learning was the one that blew me the fuck out the most

>>56109330
Why would we need derivatives in computer science?

>>56109388
asymptotic bounds. you may use l'hopital to prove that one bound is strictly bigger than another. that's probably what was on the board if it was an intro to algo course.

>>56109342
>that famous CompSCI math book
Which one?

>>56109342
Lad those symbols hardly mean much. They just mean things like derivative, sum, probability etc. They're just shorthandl
Shouldn't you be taking calc1 as well?

>>56109388
Chebyshev polynomials for one, approximating 2/3d curves like bezier/cardinal spline, newton iterations, list goes on. It's not all linear algebra or discrete.

>computer science
>computer
>a device that quickly solves mathematical problems
>science
>study of structure and behaviour through observation and experiment.
subject name literally means the study of devices which exclusively exist to do math

I can see how you'd think it wouldn't have any math in it though.

>>56109413
Probably Concrete Mathematics

>>56109442
OP was obviously trolling but there are probably noobs or young people thinking of going into CS and this thread will most likely answer their questions

The only thing you need to do to fit in here is be a fucking low life

>>56109145
>highly advanced.

Turns out it's babies first big O excersize. Lol.

>>56109330
Seriously? It's just a tool you CAN use derivatives for many things. Cmon. Real computer science is more math than programming. Theory major reporting in.

>>56109506
Responded to wrong post dude?

>>56109440
Why would we need Chebyshev polynomials?

My man, since you're clearly rocking that double digit IQ I strongly recommend dropping all of those scary math classes. STEM in general really. I hear business majors are doing well.

its probably calculus 1

new students are afraid of all new ascii characters instead of numbers

>>56109145
Computer Science is pretty much specialized Math. What you're probably looking for is something like software engineering.
