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.

yeah truth, buh some of them are still trying sha, it's just that they're kinda lazy.

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.

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 circuit grin

. 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.

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.

u are right. Mathematics and Computer science are like the father and the son grin

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.

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.

Hahjascho:
"What it takes to be a good University " is an open ended question.....and the answers might be relative. But generally, a good University student is that which makes the best moments while in school positively.

The one who is always goal oriented and then, consistently achieve it. (Positively)

The one who doesn't base his times and living on chance and things that waste most of his valuable times.

A good University student plans for his future (academically i.e being serious with studies, financially, developmentally) even while in school.

A good University student understands that every moment counts

thank you sir, well written.

[quote author=Pompom88 post=89576088]welcome Sir.
if you go beyond the Earth's space-time curvature you will just remain in equilibrium grin

why because of F = Gmm/r², there are some other bodies (planets) and you are attracted to them too including the sun. So attraction from from different bodies will keep you in equilibrium. The sun's gravity will not have that too much impact on you(will be negligible) due to the distance. In the universe size maters and so does the distance grin

Though I'm not a Physicist oh.

Education › What Really Makes Someone To Be A University Student. by jpawjpaw(op): 11:27am On May 29, 2020

What really makes someone to be a good university student?

Some students once they get admission into the university, they believe they are now university students, they feel bossy and end up looking down on other students that are not up to their level. If student once get admission into the university, doest that really make him/her a university student, or there's more to that. What qualities should university student possess?
Please I need your replies nairalanders.

Education › Re: Don’t Reopen Schools Now, Lagos Parents Tell Govt by jpawjpaw(m): 2:10am On May 29, 2020

these parents are so funny o.
if i may ask, what if the covid-19 has come to stay with us, what if the covid-19 cases keep on rising, will u let schools closed forever, don't u want to learn how to live with the virus, will you allow covid-19 to keep on ruling us.
We are humans, we have to learn how to adapt to situations. Keeping schools closed will mean that we are unable to adapt, parents be responsible for your children, but know that education is the key. Keeping your children at home will not change anything but harm them, Western world don't play with education and that's why they're ahead of us.
I see no need for you arguing on wether schools should resume or not, let's give it a trial and see the outcome, if it's safe we continue, if it's not we close them(schools) back.
They are planning on allowing worship centers to function, if they allow them, won't your kids go to Sunday school? Won't they get infected in the church?
Please stop complaining on schools reopening, but pray for God's intervention.

yes u can still get A in the course...but since u are doubting, I don't think u can get A in the course, just pray for a B........but that your English eh......

Both of them were equally correct, the force Newton was talking about and Einstein's curvature of space time are the same but it's been explained in different way.
The space time is just like a fabric, the Earth has curved the space and that what makes it possible for everything within the curve to accelerate downward. Do this experiment by throwing something upwards with a greater force, you will notice that the object is coming down in a projectile manner(curvy way) �, not straight down but in a curvy way. If you can go beyond the curvature of the space time the Earth has curved, then you will experience zero gravity.
So Albert Einstein was right. Newton too was right because the curve (Force F) makes objects to accelerate downward, but he didn't see it the way Einstein saw it.
Where are the Physicsist and the Mathematicians ��
