[quote=Anonymous]Upper level computer science courses, such as algorithms, theory of computation, etc. draw techniques from a lot of math classes, especially combinatorics and discrete math. The modern instantiations of AI courses (with the machine learning focus) will draw a lot from calculus and differential equations. All that being said, computer science is not software engineering. Both can require varied levels of math, but CS definitely requires more as you go into the theory heavy sides of the discipline. Software engineering is a lot more about system design, architecture, principles of testing, effective coding techniques, etc. There are a lot of CS grads who end up doing software engineering. Folks that picked up some coding from other disciplines also find their way into software engineering. All-in-all, it's a pretty good profession for people that like to problem solve and are willing to put in the time to keep their technical skills up to date. [/quote]
