Computer Science and Information Technology

RE: Computer Science and Information Technology



I know zilch about an IT degree and my experience is seriously out of date, but I would make two observations.

First, despite the technical nature of a CS degree, a goodly portion of your actual education will come after you leave school and start getting "retrained" by your employer. Second, the math isn't all that scary, at least from my perspective. Granted, math was already my specialty before college, but a year of calc, some numerical analysis and the like, mostly just to satisfy the requirements of your major — the actual math involved in CS is far more modest; off the top of my head, the only real math is understanding logarithms and their integrals in calculating the big O of an algorithm. If it's changed, I apologize for the misinformation, but I rather doubt it has.
