How much computer science experience do you have? I’ve heard that CSE 3 is for those with virtually no prior knowledge of the subject… And from what I’ve gathered on these forums, taking the honors courses don’t really seem to benefit you that much, the idea of a “smaller class size” is considered overrated, and that you might only want to take it if you are looking for the more intense/rigorous course. But that’s not from what I’ve personally experienced since I’m an incoming freshman too, it’s just what I’ve read. Since you’re majoring in math you might want to take the honors course though since you’ll be around math all the time. lol But it’s also been said that taking honors courses here aren’t exactly like taking an AP over a regular class in high school in the way that it clearly benefits you in high school. But get more opinions on that, probably from people that have experience with it haha

PS you can look at this thread regarding math honors courses http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-san-diego/983319-benefits-math-31ah-31bh-31ch.html
