Comment Role of Math (Score 1) 583
Completely disagree with this. Computer Science for years has been practically defined as applied mathematics until recently. Even then, math knowledge is still essential even in applied CS. My knowledge in computer graphics (which includes game development, a highly sought-after career in CS) wouldn't be half as sufficient if it weren't for linear algebra and vector calc classes I took in college. Despite the rapid development of advanced frameworks and SDKs, computers are still fundamentally ones and zeroes, and without foundational understanding of how these bits translate to actual programs students will not succeed in the field.
