CODING

This is what happens when you try to make programming available to the general public

That calculus class made me seriously consider dropping the economics major.

I don’t understand why our comparatively tiny computer science department has such an intimidating course as a major requirement. [b]Calculus[/b] is not useless in computer science; rather, one does not need to excel in calculus to apply computer science knowledge.

It’s interesting how the debate centers around the importance of calculus, since that’s the class I took the first semester of my freshman year that caused me to promise myself to never take a math class again

How many of them [computer scientists] could teach a good course in cloud computing or multi-core systems or software engineering or any of the many other topics that the graduates will find useful when they graduate?

Isn't that what SE and IT degrees are for?

What the fuck do these niggers think of CS? math is useless for a javascript apper XD might be true, but how are you going to read a paper on abstract bullshit if you don't even know how to differentiate functions?

You don't need math in programming. Cudder failed HS math and writes better code than any of you.
