People often don’t understand that math is pretty much in all fields of STEM. For example students at my university start chemistry thinking they will be at most balancing chemical reactions or calculating concetrations, but then differential equations and linear algebra starts. During my first year about half of the students failed the introductory physics course.
I work in biology and the amount of people who work in the field because they hate maths is… considerable. As others have said, the field is almost entirely quantitative and statistics nowadays, so, lol
I have a family member who studies fish at a post doc level. He had to learn a bunch of calculus and statistical analysis just to be able to actually make use of the data they collect. Anyone who wants to design and publish research has to have a pretty good grasp of a lot of math.
Still don’t get why you need maths for computer science. Like programming originated in maths or something? Maybe they just use it to filter people out. Seems to work quite well then.
Are you… Serious? Because computers are math machines. That’s literally their purpose. If you’re programming anything lower level than a JS app then you need to understand what’s going on closer to the hardware. CS is a pretty general field and I appreciate the math classes that I’ve taken so far because I am planning to go into embedded systems and therefore will be actually using a lot of it.
