| Computer science uses a lot of mathematics; in my degree, it was compulsory to take mathematics up to second year level, in both calculus and algebra. Algebraic concepts such as matrices are vital for some areas of computer science, and writing working programs involves a great deal of mathematical manipulation - for example, getting an object to move in a circle on the screen requires trig, drawing a graphic requires various geometry, and solving problems often involves reducing the problem to mathematical equations. You might like to consider getting a maths tutor, or attending a summer school programme, to brush up on your maths. If you really despise maths, then it's possible that computer science may not be the best profession for you... |
