[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is working in computer science always heavily math based? Do you absolutely need to have a love of math to do well with CS as a profession? My kid loves video games but is not a strong math student and wondering if it might be an option anyway.[/quote] Our DS is CS major and the minimum number of required college math courses for the degree is seven, plus some of the CS courses sound like math to my English Lit brain. If your kid loves video games, while most jobs in the industry will be looking for CS, there are many fields other than CS that are needed to create a game -- creative writing, music and sound, art, and all the associated managment and business elements. Think of it more like wanting to enter the movie industry but not being an actor, though at least a CS minor still would be useful.[/quote]
