basic maths. If your out of highschool, as long as you took algebra I and II you'll be set. The classes aren't that hard while in college... computer science ones i mean. Remember that in this age of computers, to repair computers and work with them we use two things, tools and more computers. As long as the problem is not between the chair and the keyboard you should be fine.

I am a senior computer science student and am required to take Calculus and a few other advanced math classes, however, there was very little math involved in the computer courses themselves.
I think the most math I had to use was in Network Communications course where we had to use formulas to determine the degredation and range of a wireless signal, but that was basically algebra. In fact, I finished my entire computer science coursework without even having taken Calculus, which incidentaly is the last course I will take because I suck at math.

Just linear algebra. This is just basic algebra. In linear algebra, you'll have to learn a lot about vectors and matrices, which play a big role in computer science.
Linear algebra is what will help you the most, and is what computer science is based on. Your school, however, may require you to take higher-level courses like calculus. This does not mean that you have to understand calculus to get into the computer science field. The purpose of higher-level courses is to weed out the dumber students. For instance, when trying to become a doctor, you have to take very advanced chemistry courses. Once you become a doctor, you don't need to remember any advanced chemistry. The purpose of it is to make sure dumb people and slackers don't become doctors. The purpose of those higher-level math courses is to make sure dumb people and slackers don't become computer programmers.

depends on the college, I went to Troy university fo a BS in computer science and I only had to take college level algebra and computer mathmatics. But Florda state requires Calc 1 and 2

sure math and extreme point math are required for CS majors. At my college calc 3, differential equations and linear algebra are the person-friendly math standards and then there are dissimilar CS classes that have some noticeably heavy math in touch. For programming in a job then no you will seldom choose calc and better point math classes.

Most require Adavanced Maths (depends on the college though)
