This is why I skipped CS, and got a degree in Mathematics. It's not that it's impossible to pick up some solid math skills on your own, but if you're already programming for a hobby, learning a lot of what gets covered in CS is pretty simple, compared to picking up higher-level mathematics. Abstract algebra and analysis (Calculus the way it should be) changed my perspective a hell of a lot more than any of the CS cou…
I largely agree. I went for a Math rather than a CS degree myself. With that said, you will be required to learn a lot of math in a decent CS course and an interested student can pick up on the rest themselves relatively easily.
Ahh if only I was a good student. That being said, trying to bone up on my skills as I am looking at some jobs doing geomatics stuff.
