For a CS Bachelor's, what is the highest degree of math needed (and what is the highest used - optionally)?
Greatly appreciate the help and feedback!

There are a number of schools that only require freshman level calculus for a computer science major. There are some that don't even require that! Some require calculus and linear algebra. A very few, even more.Psinter said:That really depends on the university, but on an overall standard I believe it would be...
At my university it's 3 semesters of calculus and Linear Algebra (Highest degree I suppose).
The level of math required for a Bachelor's in Computer Science varies depending on the specific program and university. However, most programs typically require students to have a strong foundation in calculus, statistics, and discrete mathematics.
While having a background in math can certainly be beneficial for studying computer science, it is not always a requirement. Many universities offer introductory math courses specifically designed for computer science students.
If you struggle with math, it may be more challenging to study computer science. However, with dedication and hard work, it is still possible to succeed in the program. Many universities also offer resources such as tutoring and study groups to help students with math-related coursework.
Some of the most important math courses for computer science include calculus, linear algebra, and discrete mathematics. These courses provide the foundational knowledge necessary for understanding algorithms, data structures, and other key concepts in computer science.
While a strong understanding of math is important for computer science, it is not the only aspect of the field. There are many other areas of computer science that do not heavily rely on math, such as user interface design, software engineering, and project management. However, it is important to have a basic understanding of math to be successful in any area of computer science.
