Comment on Ask HN: Can below average math guys become better programmers?parent

Seconding this. In senior year of university, the math requirements of the CS track went from second-grade arithmetic to being expected to have finished your math minor. It was quite the jarring shift.

If you want to program, you don't need to know much in the way of mathematics. If you want to program well, knowing advanced math will open up new possibilities for problem solving. If you want a CS degree, start taking math courses now.
