I am good at algebra and Geomatry,but i am struggling in Algebra 2 with a grade of C because all of my attention went into a really hare AP History class . I hope to pay more attention next year in Pre calc.
I AM PLANING TO MAJOR IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL
I am taking computer science in the fall , what kind of math would be involved?
Usually, Comp Sci majors have to take 2-3 years of calculus. You'll need to get your math skills up... but don't worry....
Calculus is actually quite a bit of fun. A lot of times, people that struggle with elementary math do really well as soon as they get to more interesting courses. You might just enjoy yourself.
If not, then you'll have to work pretty hard, and be a part of some good study groups.
Reply:Through calculus, you can also expect to take 2-3 years of physics and chemistry or biology too.
Reply:I'm a great programmer, and you don't need as much calculus as the books say you do. :P
Trigonometry, sure. But it involves more logic than math.

What can I do with a BA in Computer Science or Information Technology?
I'm thinking about switching my major to this because I like math and working with computers. What kind of careers will this prepare me for and is this a good major?
What can I do with a BA in Computer Science or Information Technology?
As a general overview, the typical path after a 4-year degree in Computer Science would be an entry-level position as a programmer doing programming "grunt work" or software development as a junior member of a project team.
An Information Technology degree would put you more in a position to work as part of a team managing personal computers, servers, and networks for a business.
Reply:Yes, definitely a good idea. A major in computer science/or information technology will prepare you for a job that is in high demand. I would recommend getting a certification also such as ones from Microsoft or Cisco which will give you additional earning power. It's one of the hottest fields, despite the dot com bust and continues to grow. You can make major money in that field - if you land with the right company and with hard work, you could be making six digits in a couple of years. Good luck studying!

Which is a more superior field of study, Computer engineering or computer science?
I love computers and am wondering what to study for when I hit college.
Which is a more superior field of study, Computer engineering or computer science?
Both Computer Science (study of software development) and Engineering (study of hardware development) depend on each other (you need software for users to interact with the computer and you need the computer to store the software). Can't really see a superior field of study between the two.
You should decide what you really prefer to study. If you want to learn a lot about programming and making softwares, then take Computer Science. If you want to learn how to make hardware and circuits for the computer, then take Computer Engineering.

What is the difference between a Computer Science a Computer engineering?
Please explain.
What is the difference between a Computer Science a Computer engineering?
Engineering of all kinds is usually concerned with adapting existing tools to specific applications. So a computer engineer might work on chip design for the next generation of computers.
Science of all kinds is generally concerned with expanding existing knowledge and developing new kinds of knowledge. So a computer scientist might try to figure out what might be used instead of chips, or what the theoretical limits of any kind of computer could be.
There is no small amount of overlap between the two - new science is often discovered by engineers who are pushing the limits of their systems, while scientists often have to be excellent engineers in order to design equipment to test their theories.
Perhaps more distinction might be seen where there is less overlap - there are many engineers who never develop any new theories about how computers work, and just produce useful equipment (like Thomas Edison); conversely, there are many scientists who never even get their hands dirty and do all their work on paper and in their head (like Albert Einstein).
If you ask me, they're BOTH great to have around! ( :
Reply:the word Science and the word Engineering
Reply:Computer science is concerned with the theory and development of computer software (eg, programming languages, operating systems, etc), while computer engineering has to do with the design of actual computers. Computer engineering is a sub-field of electrical engineering.
Reply:Computer Science is concerned with the theory of computing, which, by the way, exists independently of computers. Think of algorithms, convergence analysis, Turing machines, and so on.
Computer Engineering is about the mechanics of the computer. Think processors, memory, etc.
Practically speaking, the first is about software, whereas the second deals with hardware.

How to get gud marks in computer science?
I am in 11th std and i have taken computer science(c++) as optional subject but it's very hard to get good marks in it and my exams are approaching ,am really worried abt it. Please someone help me to get gud marks.....
How to get gud marks in computer science?
try to get the logic of the program....n try to understand why it is so?...then try out the program on your own...on the computer..by doing that may be u'll b able to come up with a logic of your own!...because a program need not have only one logic that is executable!...mugging up definitely seems to be a stupid choice in such a case!
Reply:just mug up .......there is no other option !!!!!!!!
Reply:BUY ANY SAMPLE Books OF COMP SCIENCE make small program
work hard on pointers, array
once u start making small logical programs u'll find it easy
try to sit on comp with those who knows C++ she/he will help u out
Reply:Spelling and syntax is important in programming languages. If you misspell the commands or don't format them properly, they probably won't work.

Reply:First thing is that u have to understand the logic..Are u good at Maths... If u r then u wont face much problems... Read the program once write it twice and then type the same program and execute u ll surely understand it... If u can get the Book, Object oriented programming in C++ by Balagurusamy... It will be helpful..

I'm majoring in computer science at my university. How can I get into a career of game development?
I've taken a c++ course but what other skills do you think I will need to further my career? Any other tips are welcome.
I'm majoring in computer science at my university. How can I get into a career of game development?
Your academic advisor should be able to help you with that question. Your school may already offer coursework that could lead you into game development and if not, should be able to provide resources to assist you.

Which is easier to take in college: BCIS or Computer Science? They will be online classes.?
I am familiar with the various programs covered in BCIS. What is computer Science? What does it cover? The college calls this class Microcomputer Applications. I am looking for ease, if computer science is easy, I will take it; otherwise, it will be BCIS.
Which is easier to take in college: BCIS or Computer Science? They will be online classes.?
BCIS would be easier....more focus on the business aspect of computer systems.
True CIS is where you would be writing your own compilers and operating systems.
