<p>I’ve already read this post – still sounds like you need to at least understand fundamental calculus; and I’m having even problems with that. I think my main problem is that I simply mis-judged the focus of the industry, and had completely the wrong understanding of what a computer scientist does coming into college.
In short; if you’re not good with calc, you’re not fit to be a computer scientist. There’s plenty of other people for employers to choose from who had no trouble acing their calc classes in college — and CS employers do see math classes as highly important, in fact Bill Gates once claimed that Calculus was one of his most important assets in learning about the workings of computers; and a concrete understanding of calculus is essential to anyone who is seeking a job in the field of Computer Science (can’t seem to find quote right now, but I remember reading this in one of his books).</p>
