Advice Needed: Majoring in Computer Engineering & Minoring in Math

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a student's decision to major in Computer Engineering while pursuing a minor in Mathematics and Economics. The student is considering courses such as Linear Algebra and Discrete Mathematics, which are deemed beneficial for a career in computer engineering. The student expresses frustration with the prerequisites for certain courses, particularly the Theory of Coding, which requires multiple prior classes. Ultimately, the consensus among forum members is to focus on Linear Algebra and Discrete Mathematics as they are both enjoyable and relevant to the field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Computer Engineering fundamentals
  • Familiarity with basic calculus concepts
  • Knowledge of course prerequisites in mathematics
  • Awareness of the importance of discrete mathematics in computer science
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the curriculum for Linear Algebra and its applications in engineering
  • Explore the significance of Discrete Mathematics in algorithm design
  • Investigate the prerequisites for the Theory of Coding course
  • Look into elective math courses that complement a Computer Engineering degree
USEFUL FOR

Students majoring in Computer Engineering, academic advisors, and anyone interested in the intersection of mathematics and engineering disciplines.

hey guys (Wave). ok so i been thinking. what I'm going to do is major in Computer Engineering and get a minor in math and econ. for a minor in math i need two more classes after my required math classes for engineering. i am thinking to take History of Mathematics. i want to take discrete math but for that i need a class required before that which is not in my required courses for C.E. so that would mean an extra course. I hate my adviser so I am coming to you guys :o do you guys think i should take or do you guys recommend any other "fun" math class?

or linear algebra. i might take that instead. or a beginning advanced mathematics class...

i want to take the class that's about theory of coding but it has 3 pre-reqs...

I would recommend those too. Definitely useful to know as a computer engineer. (Cool)

yeah because i need to take calc1,2,3 and differential equations and then i need to more math courses. i might take linear algebra i think. i really wanted to take the theory of coding but it has too many classes that are pr-requisites.
