>>12917504Lol I think it is pretty funny here how people get assmad when you suggest that it's easier to self study math anyway, so just get the degree that has the most connections to industry / other academic opportunities.
>b-but nobody will take you seriously if you didn't take the classesand people would take you seriously if you don't take the CS classes? Most software jobs require very little CS, which is why a lot of people in STEM can apply, but has it ever occurred to them that there's a reason why data structures, algo I and II, and topic classes like computer vision, ML, graphics processing, etc., are high points on the resume? At most good places, you have to put data structures at the very least to get your resume through the window, no matter what your major is.
Most people here are content at looking at the (initial) lack of classic continuous math like integrals and differential equations and thinking "wow this is easy theory." They're
1) usually the people filtered out the first when you give them any nontrivial algo questions like breaking into sub linearity using randomness
2) usually know "CS" at the most cursory level. Anybody who knows more than freshman algo knows muh precious integrals and other pieces of continuous mathematics show up on the interesting side of CS. You wouldn't even be able to deny if you knew anything about generating functions.
Basically most of this board engages in wild Dunning-Kruger over CS because it's full of piss poor students whose money they love enough not to kick out. I feel like all of this seething from engineering, math, and physics students is all cope because they're struggling in diffeq or statics or analysis I or some other brainlet course and need to vent at people they perceive are less ambitious than they are.
