☂️-id want to kill myself too. just from the very little i know from computer stuff, imagine doing an entire semester
AngryCommieKenderPhysics ≠ Computer Science
Can’t have computer science without physics.
I’m not entirely sure of that. You can’t have comp sci without algebra and potentially calculus. I could see a society that developed all three fields before they codified Physics
How do you have computer science without calculus? Calculus is literally necessary for computer science, otherwise it’d just be like… shitty statistics with a little programming
Care to expand? Things like complexity theory and type theory, for example, have nothing to do with calculus
In general, a lot of the stuff computer science shares with data science uses calculus, a lot of the statistics too, but also visuals and modelling other sciences (e.g. simulations) use calculus heavily. I recall utilising vector calc a decent amount when working with Vulkan, for example
Sounds like programming more than CS, in that case, fair enough. Also the linear algebra in computer graphics is, well, algebra, not calculus.
