Get over it. It's probably babbys first calculus for scrubs anyway.

Is not that hard m8

If you don't learn Calculus you will write JavaScript + Rails in a horrible web service job. Learn CS so you will find a fun job that you won't hate at your 30s.

Explain how Calculus is necessary for writing a kernel or compiler.

> calculus
> number crunching
please

>>60489772
CS doesn't teach you to write code tho.

>calculus
>so hard that you have to cry about taking it

nigga calc 1 is one of the most fun math classes you'll ever take, it's also stupidly easy

Chain rule, derivatives (power, natural log, trig), and basic integrals === nothing to complain about

>>60489772
i took it as an opportunity to learn TI-BASIC and write functions on my ti-89, which can do algebraic symbol equation solving so when you set up your functions you can just fall asleep in the back of the class while people are trying to handsolve integrals using the retarded du/dy notation

Why aren't you in Web Development or Game Development or Information Systems or Software Development?

CS "theory" is literally the most useless shit on the planet

Calculus and other areas of higher mathematics are not about number crunching, but instead about problem solving. A computer doesn't understand how to figure out higher level problems; it has to be programmed to do so using the primitives that it can understand. It is your job as a programmer to translate a given problem into a sequence of programming primitives so that the computer can solve the problem.

While calculus is not as commonly used as other branches of mathematics (namely linear algebra and probability theory) in computer science, it nonetheless contributes to you having a better understanding of how to problem solve. If nothing else, it's a good way to filter out the morons.

It is not typical for these to be separate programs. Nearly every CS degree incorporates a lot of programming fundamentals.

Do you have to deal with all this math bullshit in networking?

>tfw struggle with basic linear algebra

Should I kms?

>>60489772
quit and swap to software engineering right now
(though that is not really writing code either, only shitty diagrams, but at least it is more about code than CS)

>>60493725
any engineering program worth its weight will require up to calc 3 as well, you'll just have a lot less useless theory classes and more direct application/project design and architecture/project-based classes

>>60493699
yes.

CS is a fucking meme

At least calculus makes sense for a social science. Computer scientists do literally nothing with calculus. All the important math is discrete.

>>60494947
Math is just a tool. More intricate tools give you a broader range of action. Plus caulculus isn't even hard, it's literally highschool level.
