Does it help to have a math minor if i'm majoring in computer science?

i was thinking about minoring in math. i've noticed that alot of people in my computer science classes are math majors . . and I actually learned some of the topics in my computer science classes last semester in calc II .. and i really like math for some reason. do employers like for people to have some history with math?

I think it would depend on your specialty in the computer field. Programming would be a good example of using a lot of math. If calculations need to be built into an application that would be a definate plus. Enterprise network engineering would also be a good career to have a mathematical background. If you like math check into the specialty careers to see what choices are available. One of them might really talk to you.





Good luck

It is a job that sounds like it is right up your alley!
Reply:im a comp sys major but they give us the chance to dual with comp sci for a little extra hours, there's a bunch of math classes we have to take so maybe thats not such a bad idea
Reply:I think that Math is important full stop!


I think studying Math is important no matter what you're majoring in.
