What's so hard about the math? Use a calculator

I'm not him but I can't even use a calculator on tests for my math class

Literally kill yourself.
There's humanities degrees harder than CS. CS is made easy as fuck just to graduate as many people as possible every year.

What math are you in? Assuming you're in an entry level calculus class (standard for cs majors), it shouldn't be an issue. A CS degree might not be for you. Also consider the fact that you are in your first week and the class may get easier as you adjust to college and the class. I would wait out the semester and if you absolutely fail your courses you can drop it then.

It's important with any course that you attack it from day 1. If you leave it and hope for a miracle later you deserve what you get.

Well then the problems aren't too hard if they don't let you use a calculator. Just do the homework and then some to memorize the rules and you're good to go.
I never had to study during calc using this method. Just understand logically what needs to happen, practice a few times and try out different situations to worm out the bugs and apply what you learned to the tests

Work out*

can i ask what class? because honestly thats a pretty retarded and ass backwards way of learning math in the year 2017

>>62192722
You need to work hard at that maths angle, because what it means is if you continue into computing, that you'll probably need to consider a career focused more on business application in IT in the long run. That might or might not be what you want.

t. experienced compsci grad

Which uni? Good uni if they teach functional lang as introduction. Its hard but you will make you strong compi sci student

If your school isn't shit, CS will feel hard. Challenge yourself to give it your all for the semester, and see how you feel after. You'll know if you enjoy it/felt the work was worth what you learned.

not him but many of my classes didn't allow them. discrete, calc 1 - 3, linear algebra, ode, and a few others I can't remember. problems never required more than basic mental arithmetic since that's not what you're being tested on. there's no reason you'd need a calculator.

You will struggle in any subject-- that's the nature of exploring any major subject in college. Don't run from something just because it's hard.
