computer science is a lot about data structures and algorithm and making the right mathematical choices. You need to be good at Probability/Random Processes.
there is not much of calculus involved but a lot of discrete mathematics.

By computer science I am assuming you are leaning more towards programming. Although there is no correlation between knowledge of math and computer science, as some other people has stated, it helps and makes it a little easier.
If you are talking programming then in order to make it easier, you should probably find logic problems, and flow diagrams easy to do.

Not necessarily... Computer Science involves a lot of computer programming. You use languages like C, C++, C#, Java, VB, and HTML. Utilizing these languages requires a person to be good at logic (IF>THEN>ELSE statements, AND, OR, NOT, loops, branching, procedures, subroutines, interrupts, etc.).
That is the main reason I chose to do electrical engineering w/computer engineering concentration instead of computer science. I'm really good at math, but I'm still not the greatest computer programmer. We use programming languages in my computer architecture and chip design classes, and I know for a fact that computer science definitely wasn't for me.

Being good in math with help you if you want to pursue an electronics degree or programming, but it doesn't necessarily help you understand how to use a computer or how the components fit together. That just takes some hands on experience. Good luck.

If you are refering to understanding how a pc does what it does, yes!
The rest of you rubberheads aint got a clue either! You aint gonna jump into ANY field in computers without takin some basic courses! I have been in computers since 4 bit processors when the only programming available was done with a piece of paper and machine code! There was no such thing as progrmming other than setting bits in binary. If you aint ready to understand the basics, dont waste your time!

I wouldn't agree with that statement. But I would say that computer science is impossible for a person who is not good at math.

Computer science is tough. If you are bad at math good luck.

i circulate to be pursuing computer technological understanding as an undergraduate degree, i've got taken computer technological understanding courses related to Java, and that i've got researched a gaggle, as nicely as talked to my computer technological understanding instructor. in my view, it is much less annoying, alot of stuff in computer technological understanding is greater programming and coding then math, in all probability the main happening math thought in CS would be recursion. yet it incredibly is only me, i'm a working laptop or computer technological understanding variety of man or woman, yet computer technological understanding in terms of math will regularly be recursion, algorithms, greater that variety of stuff.

math is only a small part of it. You have to be good with programming. If then else, variables, and all the other programming stuff
