    • @mistamontero
      @mistamontero  Před 2 lety +7

      The maths module that I did in my first year was quite hard I would say. It reminded me of Maths A-level, but after that, I didn’t choose anymore (pure) maths modules. If you’re worried about math, then I’d say check the course specifications of the universities that you’re interested in and see how much math there will be.

    • @username2828

      I can agree with this, I just finished 1st year CS at loughborough uni and the maths module was a lot of recap of a level maths along with further maths and obvs there was some completely new stuff. The logic module was discrete maths I think all new stuff to me, was quite difficult

      yeh speaking as someone who just graduated from CS, dont do it f you dont like it - maths is a good general degree but is very hard, u could look into apprentship degree schemes i would say - depends of ur country but if u uk or us and have to pay for degree or only have one chance nothing wrong with just working for a bit trying to move away from ur family and have more of a think on whatnyou really want to do, id say in life friendships and relations are some of the msot rewarduing thing. system is fucked, give yourself grace, mother often DOES NOT know best
