Omo, this is a JAMB question oh. Please note that some of these issues are better discussed based on individual abilities and interests but I'll provide a generic approach.

You're on track. Comp Science or to be specific, theoretical computer science is a branch of mathematics. At the core, computers are just number-crunchers and that makes math to be a foundational part of computer systems. The difficulty of math you need depends on what areas of computer science you want to work in and what you're able to absolve.

DSA is the core but it's not for everyone. If you want to advance your career you'll certainly need those advanced algorithms and matrices, Exponents, Polynomials, Linear and Quadratic equations, Calculus, Vectors, Probability, Statistics, Combinatorics, Logic, Number theory and Graph theory. These are the brains behind Machine learning, Artificial intelligence, Modelling, Distributed systems, Data analytics and the likes. The truth is the more math you know, the deeper your understanding of computers will become.

Look @airsaylongcome said above, hardware has advanced tremendously and what we need are those who can optimize this power efficiently both from an algorithmic and productivity perspective.

Now to your course of study. Applied math is the application of mathematical methods by various fields. You are using the formulas of pure maths and applying them in real life. That simply means you can work or specialize in any field of your interest.
If your interest is in SD. I will say learn C, assembly lang, and hardware. You don't need to go in-depth into all of that but that removes a lot of abstraction. So when you're going for your OOP like python, Java, JavaScript, Django or what have you, you'll have an understanding of both the upper and lower layers because the upper layers depends on the lower layers. That's the differentiator.

For working in FAANG, it's very possible bro. There are ways/factors that can ease the process. Check out the requirements and understand the interview process. If you are prepared, apply for positions/openings that you're a good fit. So you're saying I should ignore those HTML and CSS,and focus more on the fundamentals sir?

I appreciate the input sir.
Cc: airsaylongcome, I'd appreciate your input sir.

You're always free to ask whatever questions you desire.

It's a no brainer that the field of software development is undoubtedly very difficult to learn and become proficient at. How does a student of Applied mathematics like myself, become a good software developer? (emphasis on software developer, not programmer) I figured out we'll be taking a course in Data structures and Algorithms with computer science students, and I'll definitely be taking that elective for sure.

I too, would like to get employed by any one of the FAANG someday. So my question is thus: given my course of study; how do I get into the software development field as an absolute beginner and to be able to reach a level of employability by a FAANG one day?

I'm happy you've realized that your Engineering program was not a waste. I know the sky is your beginning because you're doing wonders.

Can I ask a question sir?

meobizy:
Stop living under daddy’s roof.

I'll move out when it's time.

Is it legally possible for me to be euthanized willingly?

meobizy:
Go and pass JAMB first.

I did, and have been admitted. Anything else?

Is there an option that allows one to be willingly euthanized, with my permission?

mentro:

Unfortunately I am not a Stem student, and I really hated maths growing up because of the kind of school I attended, but my brain can definitely carry the basics for DSA, so I will like to know the foundational topics I need to study.

if you think you can learn it, then that's how it'll be. Simple!

sukkot:
doesnt look impressive but then again i have come to the conclusion that there is only so much you can do to a house to where it would blow my mind. havng said that i have seen a couple of houses on CRIBS that blew my mind

You've not done my reading sir.

Another man out.

Jashub:
Bros, you're young . I was 29 when I decided to study Chemical engineering. And now I'm in my late 30s chasing a degree in medicine and surgery. So what am I trying to say : forget about the country and pursue your goals . Once you're good , na job go dey find you .

Wow!

Considering the age discrimination in the Nigerian job market; is it advisable for a 21 year old to study a five year course?

Addendum- an engineering course.

JoviaIJune:
how far? Your mail dey active?
I wan make we reason

Reason me too na jovial

Glo is the worst network on planet Earth.

Oppression. I need to put more effort

Oppression.

Biscuit and internet subscription.

I don't know.

TechCapon:
go into cloud computing. your life will change for sure

Good day sir. How does an absolute beginner get onto this path for cloud computing?

mousery:


(To be continued)

You never mentioned what field of IT you were in.

Blesser28:


If u still have the said laptop please I will like to have it
Thanks

This is not how to make a request for something. If I were the one; I would not even respond to your silly mention.

CaveAdullam:


Mine is 4gig but upgraded to 8gig.
Hp elitebook.
Intel core i5.
Windows 10.
64 bit.

Good to go for full stack?

Manageable for now, but you need something better, along the way.

na remote now,which job b dat or na scope,cos niggaz hardly HV joy dis days,use dere follow men de sub

Not a remote job.

No!

You're going to need some practical experience to compliment your theoritical knowledge. Getting a place to acquire the practical knowledge is the most difficult part.

20k, for a 12-hour job. I'm really stressed out at my young age.

Sanguine:
Hello beautiful people.
It's my dad's birthday in a few days, and I've been racking my head thinking of what I could get him. Nothing I think of seems to match up.
And then I thought nairalanders would be of help here.
I'd appreciate ideas.
Thanks y'all.

You are your dad's child.
What are your dads hobbies?
What is your budget?

All men for instance like big screen TVs. Is a 40 inch or larger TV in your budget?

Maybe a particular book?
A new mp3 player for his car?

Not all Dads do have a car.
