any math majors?

im thinking of switching from CS to math. i still want to be a programmer, but the kinds of programming that im interested are mathy in nature (learning from data, scientific computing, graphical simulations, etc). my school teaches object oriented design pattern pseudo science instead of real cs.

I studied CS and now I'm studying Math. If you don't go to the very best CS schools don't even bother. It'll be filled with a lot of people who are there because they heard there's money to be made as a programmer and that complain whenever something interesting is taught because it has no ``real world applications'' or whatever. And this is of course the majority so yeah just imagine the rest.

Now for Math no one really goes there for the money so it's a much more pleasant experience at least for me. Also there's a lot more girls at Math but I don't know why.

Anyway unless you plan on going to MIT just pick up a few books and learn everything yourself. Read SICP.
