How hard is it to major in computer science without having taken

>>59786725
99.999% of programming has fuck-all to do with calculus itself, and other subjects like linear algebra and especially statistics/probability and discrete math are vastly more useful, but if you're too stupid to find calc pretty easy, you're gonna be a pajeet-tier programmer.

If you don't take Calculus, discrete math, or linear algebra, you'll be paid substandard wages.

Machine learning uses Calculus heavily.

What maths does your uni include in their cs programme? If they require call, they'll likely offer it. Just take it there.

Im gonna take it, im just not sure if im screwing myself because i havent taken it before.

Get tutor for math course
Shut up

>>59786725
It's not that hard. I would assume the university would have some sort math classes below calc anyway if you do not do well on a placement test or whatever they do.

You'll be fine.

Heh, good luck writing a for loop without knowing Stokes Theorem, kiddo.

You'd probably take calculus in college anyways, just go for it

>>59786725
I never took Calculus back in high school, even though I had the option to. Just do what I did and take Pre-Calculus once you're in college. It will prepare you with what you need to know because they expect you take Calculus 1 afterwards. I'm definitely glad I did take it since I forgot random details that I had learned back in high school, and we also covered some extra things too.

The calculus requirement is simply a filter. It gets rid of all the wanna-bees.
Like the old morse requirement on a ham ticket.

Calculus isn't even hard. Khan academy can teach you it, or just read the textbook. Most students struggle because they're undisciplined and unable to complete the practice problems (usually due to time constraints).

t. Dude who gets paid to tutor calc.
