[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IT person here who went to a top CS school. Have your kid look at the curriculum for CS and IS (information systems) programs at their desired school. CS is more heavy on math, while IS will have more on business and statistics (used in decision science that's why). That said, both will have stats, and both will have math, so it's a matter of how much and how deep. Senior IT people need the thought process you get from high-level math. It's more than just algebra. I found that discrete math and logic were the most useful to me actually.. since that's kind of how computers work. He may prefer IS.. if he's more of a people person, IS is a good option for sure.[/quote] CS PhD here, and it isn't "kind of" how computers work, it's exactly how computers work. Logic and discrete math. Applications add in the other branches of math.[/quote]
