Ah, it’s been a while since I posted here but I bored at work.

I’m a current student at Carnegie Mellon, I’m a CS major.

I’ve noticed some posts saying that math aptitude doesn’t have much to do with success in computer science, let me make on thing clear.

Computer Science is all about discrete mathematics.

You don’t have to be amazingly good at it, I’m not, but you have to have a certain level of math aptitude demonstrated by SAT’s/Grades and have to have some level of interest in it to succeed in this field. Math majors deal with continous math, we deal mostly with discrete mathematics that involves optimization and algorithm design. Math skills are invaluable.
