i want to major in computer sciences, but i am terrible at math.?

Question

soo, any advice from anyone is the same position? what did you do, how did you get by? should i even try?

Answer 1

I am a nurse and thought I couldn't do it, because I'm not good at math, but I studied and had tutors and made it through. My daughter same thing. You just have to put forth the effort. Anything that is difficult will just mean alot more.

Answer 2

You should reconsider your career path, then. Computer science is heavily reliant on math. You'll need to get through Calc II at the very least, and you'll probably be taking math classes through your senior year.

The question you need to consider is this. Is it that you are terrible at math, or that you hate math? If you hate math, don't even bother finishing reading what I'm writing. Seriously, stop reading. Find a new major now.

If you are bad at math, but you want to get better, then there is still hope. Take more math classes. Do math in your spare time. Once you get past Calc, math stops just being more and more complicated. Here in the U.S., we have a very set route to math courses. You take algebra, then geometry, then algebra II, then trigonometry, then calculus. There is a clear increase in difficulty.

In reality though, math is much more than just the classes required in high school. Math is like any other discipline and has a wealth of areas to study.

Last, stop looking for career advice on the internet. Go talk to an advisor at your school and get tips from someone who knows what they're talking about.
