Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by Tjass4barca: 11:37am On Jan 21, 2010 |
Am im my 200level in the university,studing mathematical science option,i have the chance to go to statistics,maths or computer sci,what am think of computer sci os maths,pls i nid help,thanks. |

Guy, go for any one of them; Statistics, Mathematics, or Computer Science; they are all good courses and are inter related. |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by Nobody: 9:08pm On Jan 24, 2010 |
if u are considering studying for a masters in engineering, economics, business,IT,education, e.t.c , mathematics is best for u, |

Do mathematics. You can always pick up computer science concepts latter on. |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by ishmael(m): 12:36pm On Feb 24, 2010 |
Mathematics is the father of all of them. Statistics and computer science all depend on mathematics. Any one of the 3 courses is ok. |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by Nobody: 5:20pm On Feb 24, 2010 |
Math's broader and will give you more options, especially when it comes to grad school -if you want to aim for that lateron. At the same time, Com. Sci also has many options and job opportunities. Where does your interest lie the most? |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by H2O2: 10:30pm On Feb 24, 2010 |
Computer science without a doubt. |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by Nobody: 12:51pm On Mar 02, 2010 |
Dont let any one deceive u, do mathematics, u can be whatever u want later on, |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by H2O2: 7:45pm On Mar 02, 2010 |
I'm telling you, go comp sci. You will get more than enough math background. |

^^H202, na lie jor! I studied mathematics. They always fail our courses in large numbers but we shine in theirs. |

Chykason: umm stop with the generalization. the OP should do whatever INTERESTS him the most. |

H2O2: nope Comp Scientists are very weak in Maths |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by zebra(m): 5:51pm On Mar 03, 2010 |
candylips: Very wrong of you to say that. Computer science students take all maths and stats courses with mathematics students in 100 & 200 levels; and some of them even do better than mathematics students. How comes you are now saying that they are very weak in mathematics? The only difference between mathematics, statistics and computer science students in my former school starts from 300 levels. At 300 levels computer science students start doing more advanced computer science courses especially Advanced OO programming and Artificial Intelligence. Statistics students start doing more advanced stats courses like experimental design and sampling, while mathematics students start doing more advanced maths courses like Topology and Cryptography. |

i think you have misintepreted me. i know CS students study basic Maths in school but i was talking about CS professionals. Most CS professionals rarely use Maths (programmers included) as compared to Engineers/Mathematicians/ Statisticians . So after school Computer Scientists tend to be very weak in Maths |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by H2O2: 9:03pm On Mar 03, 2010 |
@zebra, you're absolutely right! exactly why I said their math background is more than enough. assuming they're not going into a field that's far too rigorously math intensive, where they might be dealing with complex mathematics that they never learned. however, if we're talking basics, i see no reason why they can't handle some accounting or simple economics problems. |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by bawomolo(m): 5:25am On Mar 04, 2010 |
there are people with combined MCS (math and computer science) degrees. you guys should stop living on stereotypes. 1 Like |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by zebra(m): 1:32pm On Mar 04, 2010 |
H2O2: Infact the maths background is almost enough for them to be called mathematicians. Computer science students also do courses like mathematical modelling and Operations research which are kind of economics or business related. |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by candylips(m): 3:33pm On Mar 04, 2010 |
ok i guess you people are talking about computer students here and not computer scientists |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by zebra(m): 5:32pm On Mar 04, 2010 |
candylips: I believe you are the one that is talking about computer students. We are talking about computer science students that eventually graduate as computer scientists who do the same mathematics courses with maths and stats students in 100 and 200 levels. Computer students are those who do road side computer courses or those who do computer professional courses like the ones being done in NIIT and APTECH; you don't need any maths course there. 1 Like |

I know of so many computer science students that are good when it comes to mathematics. Infact you will think they are pure mathematics students. The fact still remains that if you don't know maths you cannot do computer science. |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by jerryland: 12:52pm On Mar 08, 2010 |
Hey, What are your fears in mathematics? The course it self? curriculum? Carrer prospects? realistic nature of studing the course? I have MTech in Mathematics! And am a Communication Expert! Very Vast in RF Engineering! If you answer those questions correctly, you will give your self the answer you need! |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by pacodas: 9:42am On Mar 09, 2010 |
Go for comp sci, it have more prospects and fun |

pacodas:Hello! Pls do you study comp sci? |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by pacodas: 1:25pm On Dec 06, 2014 |
adebayor1490:No but I know people who did. |
Re: Mathematics Or Computer Science,pls Help by Nobody: 5:40pm On Dec 06, 2014 |
pacodas:ok. Thanks |
