| Well, 6.001 is the only true programming course that you have to take for sure. Other than that, if you concentrate on the EE side (meaning your electives would be EE,) the other CS courses you take could be highly theoretical and less programming. AI, for instance, has some programming, but a big part is just theoretical. 6.042 (theory of computer science) is all proofs. 6.004 is CS, but is more about building a compiler...that sort of thing.
So if you can get through 6.001, you could get through course 6 if you are good with physics/EE.
Also, they have some IAP courses now designed as primers to programming for those that don't have much experience in it. |
