I talked to a fellow CS major Thursday evening and he said he hated all the math involved with the CS program, and that he' failed Pre-Calculus & Trigonometry I three times. This came out after he was complaining about his discrete computational structures class being "nothing but proofs".

If you don't like the math, why get a CS degree? Get a physical science degree and learn how to code on your own time.



Physical science probably won't be much better if you don't like math. Remember, "The book of nature is written in the language of mathematics". Heck, be a humanities major and learn to code, it's not like computers only work for people with technical degrees (though I suspect the training in rigorous thinking helps).
