At the risk of posing a self-serving bias, i will say computer science should occupy a high position there. Computer science is entirely applied mathematics. And if you do not know what my last sentence means, sorry l can't save you.

STEM fields are generally nothing to fvck with.

I also remember a Prof of Maths used to say if he wants to fill a vacancy in mathematics, he can only hire a mathematician or a computer scientist.
Well said. I can't imagine someone coming up with such thought of mathematics being tougher than computer science. Physics is not even on the OP's list and it s far far tougher than mathematics.

On a serious note I do nt regret being one. As we all know most ladies finds it difficult 2do difficult task but 4me dats wat I enjoy doing. So dnt be scared
A Proud Engineer I am! Lol

wow! 100000 like sweedie kiss
civil engineering is perceived as a male course due to d nature
but i do respect any gal doing it...cox its not easy
in my class we were abt 50 students but only 5 were gals.
so hearin such words from u shows how commited u are,

kudos!!

Computer Science not tough ?? Damn!!! If what Csc students are going through is not tough then I will like to know people's criteria for tough.

then you are wrong.. Go see d convocation lists of most reputable universites and compare d 1st class in terms of faculties.. You will find out that d faculties of sciences and engineering produces d highhest number of 1st class
is that to mean ENGINEERING is not tough?

if some course from art/humanities alongside the faculty of edu be on the list.


It did be more than TEN.


i agree that all this courses are tough but i think art/humanities/edu are less tough compared to the list above.



Its just a personal opinion.
If you like open another thread and make a list of any course you like and say they are the toughest, it doesnt change any fact. That all course are tough depending on the individual.



So forget this tough issue.
May i meet you.


thanks

@op.where is Dentistry??conduct a proper research...Its tougher than both pharmacy n medicine..I don't know of vet.
Are you dreaming?tougher than both medicine and pharmacy?just stop being bias and be realistic.I concur with the fact that dentistry should be included on the list,but saying it's tougher than medicine and pharmacy is absolute codswallop.

Hmm,Your ignorance is astounding!I'm sure you made your conclusion from the popularity angle.Actually,This is one of the problems I always have with some nairalanders.some make conclusions based on popularity, some doesn't even want to tell learn out of pride.The question you should have asked is that how did I arrive at my conclusion? was it based on what people have been saying?Anyway,I might have been biased somehow in respect to pharmacy but I want you to know that I've all the course outlines for medicine,Dentistry,pharmacy e.t.c.Now,If you want to learn,I'll educate you.From the syllabus I've here,Dental students take all courses alongside medical students except obsesstrics and gynaelogy ,few internal medicine subspecialties and few surgery subspecialties..Dental students still have to take their own dental courses such as:Oral anatomy,oral physiology,oral biochem,science of dental materials,prosthetic techniques,omfs,periondontics,periodontology, paedontics, oral medicine and pathology,Restorative dentistry ,preventive dentistry,oral diagnosis and radiology,Dental Anesthesia, conservative Dentistry,orthodontics and Advance Dental surgery.Based on my facts now,WHICH IS TOUGHER cc:Lalasticlala

Every computer science student I knew in my school is a a good mathematician and we shared exactly the same courses with mathematics departments up till 200 level and there was no big deal. only courses like abstract algebra,groups and rings, real analysis posed a little problem. I saw their notes up to the finals and nothing special. the mathematics students fairly get past a credit in computer based courses but we aced almost all their courses superbly well.
Infact,it became so embarassing at a time that the mathematics lecturers tongue-lashed their students for always lagging behind computer science students for all shared courses.

Truth is,all good computer scientists are excellent mathematicians whereas,the reverse can't be said about mathematicians.

Computer science requires a high level of cerebral capacity and IQ unlike maths where,if you are good at Lacram Lapour,you would be good to go.

If truly you study Csc and still think maths is tougher than what you do then it must be one of these 3 things;
1)Your Csc lecturers are half baked.
2)Your lecturers do not cover the subject matter well and only expose you to a minute part of what you should know.
3)Your tests and examinations have been so watery such that it is no where near what it is supposed to be talkless of being world standard.
that's your school and your level students though.
I'm in mathematics Dept as well, we offered almost the same courses with the computer science students from 100L to 200L, but us (mathematics students) used to offer some courses outside mathematics and computer science, we offered courses like Operation research, statistics, and zoology in our first year which computer science students didn't offer them. Guess what, CSC courses are not that hard, my lowest grade in Computer science courses is B. Is it the programming that is hard or the binary system grin abi GATES AND CIRCUIT. In mathematics Dept in my uni, our curriculum is bit harder than that of CS.

u are right. Mathematics and Computer science are like the father and the songrin Mathematics being the father while computer science the son.
The first computer scientists were mathematicians, the first programmer i.e Ada Lovelace was also a mathematician, so basically mathematicians and computer scientists have things in common, and they can work together.
Now from the look, we all know where computer science started from, from mathematics indeed.

I get you.
The computer science lecturers may not deploy it in full force.
Computer science is one of the courses in Nigeria with the most incompetent set of lecturers. Government needs to sack at least 80% of all computer science lecturers. In my own school and time, maybe we were just a bit lucky.

Guy what's your problem with Mathematics, the Op has said his own and that's all. If I may ask, what really makes computer science tough, is it the programming, binary system, abi gates and circuitgrin. You have the knowledge of CS and those in mathematics also have the knowledge, so keep it there. Computer science students don't offer abstract algebra, Mechanics etc in their 300L.
about physics, read the post very well, physics is no. 8.

are you saying those in d faculties of Arts,education and law dont work hard..i think you are hiding from d truth...and i must say studying engineering in most nigerian universities is a total waste of time.. As they mainly would teach you the theoretical aspect..enough hardwork in the humanites may earn you a 1st class on a scale of 1-10... I would say 5..my advice to you is to put medicine 1st on the list....
why talk on things you don't know?

Most of them are intellectually lazy and not good at what they do. It is more of a case of not capable of giving what you don't have. That's the bitter truth. They don't know it!

Engineering all over the world is about design, which is theoretically based. It's more of an intellectual work and not hand work; as such, it involve the application of purely intellectual skills which is again, theory based
