>>58130754
in other words, college level math

>/g/ says you don't need math for computer science
Anyone who says this is retarded. You don't need math for PROGRAMMING (other than for specific fields). But any proper CS degree will have at the very least a discrete mathematics class.

>Comp Sci Major with a Minor in Applied Math
>Comp Sci Major with a Minor in Stats
>Comp Sci Major with a second Major in Math

I'm leaning towards double majoring, and avoiding the 'applied' classes, since I typically find the applied shit a little more boring. But I still love math, and would probably find a way to enjoy it either way. Alternatively, the option of getting a minor in statistics is always open.

Double major is more valuable but way more work
CS Major with a PURE MATH minor is what you want. The diference between that and applied math shouldnt be much.

>>58131197
Honestly, if the double major really looks better then I think I'll just keep going down this path. I basically have zero interest in courses outside of math/comp sci, so it's really not a lot of extra work, since most people's idea of an 'ice cream class' is shit like history or psych, which is honestly way more boring to me.

>>58128209
What the fuck? I am 3 and a half months into my first CE year and so far we had pretty rigorous probability theory courses and algorithm proving lessons. Oh and they teach us real languages (Bash, C, LaTeX, Lisp and x86 assembly are all taugh first year and we're only allowed to use CLI text editors and GNU Make).

>>58131281

This kid's story is nothing
Back in highschool geometry I solved a problem by using a simple proof. Turns out it was wrong because we hadn't yet "proven" that a triangle has 3 sides.

>>58131451
There's no dick measuring contest here, saying you took a "rigorous probability course" in your first sem is pretty ridiculous. I was simply saying be more humble, and have don't have an inflated concept of self-worth.

Computer Science is essentially applied math, and programming/software is a tool derived from foundations of computer science.

Think of it like this, you don't need to be an aerospace engineer to fly a plane, but you should damn well know how a plane flies.

>>58128147
That's just a mathematical representation of code. You don't need to know the math to code it, only to reprrsent it like that and read that.

If they're teaching you c, lisp, x86 all in one year it might be.

Which is a fucking joke.

if you're doing basic business backend database shit, you don't need much math.

but if you want to do anything even remotely interesting, you need TONS of math. You need calc 1, 2, 3 + linear algebra + abstract algerba + discrete math/number theory + differential equations + ODE.

that above is a minimum if you plan on programming anything even remotely cool or interesting. stuff like deep learning, computer graphics, robotics etc.

Q, B, Sjt are all just representatives of concepts

Bt+1 = Bt + Sjt
is just saying that the next value in sequence B is the result of the preceeding value in sequence B added to the value of Sjt
t is just a sequence, so if they are arrays it is the keys in the array, etc

CS majors learn enough math to dip their feet, but no they aren't pretty much math majors. It's like saying engineers are pretty much math majors. There is always a different focus, and CS learns what is relevant to their field.

In good schools is true. The reason there are so many math+cs double majors out there, is because after the CS requirements, it already more than covers a minor, and is only a handful of courses away from a math major.

If a university's CS degree don't read an awful lot like their math degree, find a different school.

It closer to philosophy than math. Don't believe what you discrete math professor says, he just want to keep his job.

>>58128147

It takes work to get through this but it is hardly really difficult stuff. College level math should get you through this easily (even secondary school, if real statistics was on the curriculum). Just realise that you do not need to think up stuff like this (yet), you just need to understand and apply.

>>58137751

How is discreet maths any more philosophical than continuous? Do you have a single idea what you're talking about?

I'm doing a machine learning class at the moment and I feel similarly.

"Here's a mathematical function, now go implement it in Octave."

I understand the theory as I already know some statistics but translating it into code was confusing until I had someone step me through a few examples. Then aspects of the theory that I didn't understand quite so well began to make more sense.

Now it seems like data collection is actually the most difficult part because it's so damn tedious.
