Math in computer science studies?
Hi,
First of all, I'm not studying computer science yet and am currently attending high school (EF). But I still wanted to ask people who have perhaps already completed a computer science degree or are currently in the process of doing so.
Namely, how difficult I imagine the mathematical part to be. So, on a scale of 1-10. I'm aware of how subjective this question is, so for comparison, I'd also like to ask how difficult you would rate the complete induction on a scale of 1-10. That way, I can roughly put it into perspective.
Thank you for any serious answers.
PS: If you find the question too subjective or anything else, then you don't have to comment and rant; just don't answer. Unfortunately, it often happens that you're labeled as totally incompetent for your questions.

Full induction: There are very simple and also extremely heavy.
The inductions were part of mathematics for information in the first two semesters, not necessarily the most difficult. In a clause, an induction came on a matrix if I was quite out of mind, but I had missed the task (though a 1.3).
I would interpret mathematics as a qualitative increase in school mathematics.
If you take a simple induction, not even a disparity, it might be a 2. Informatics for information would then have inductions with difficulty 3 to 5. And then there are topics that are much more demanding and which I would classify with 7 or 8 – compliant with previous speakers. Unbeautiful were themes that presuppose previous knowledge that you did not have, that was really corrosively difficult then.
But otherwise: This mathematics can be learned and practiced. One wants to introduce certain basic techniques with the math claws, which are partly fundamental for the further semesters. If you can do Mathe and want to be open to new, unknown, more difficult than before, that’s not a problem. I’d rather see it like that. It’s just an effort to convert this into brain structures with exercises and follow-up, but it’s not like a filter in mathematics.
I have had complete induction in the upper stage. This is not very difficult. Maybe a two because it goes a bit beyond the normal school material. Complete induction is discussed at some point in the beginner lecture in Mathe for computer scientists, as in the 2nd or 3rd week. There is then an example, a few tasks and then it is assumed that this is essentially dominated. Complete induction is nothing complicated at all, as a reference point for the whole study is not suitable at all. Let’s take a script from the Beginner’s Lecture (1st semester of Computer Science) like this: https://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/baumeist/Mafi script.pdf, which includes about 300 pages, of which 2 over complete induction. Just look at it, then you get a very good impression of what is done (and respect: just because the same terms are used, that is NOT the same as the school material of the same name).
So IV: 2, Mathematics for Computer Science: 6, Mathematics for Mathematics: 10.
As in all Mint-Fächern, a “complete passage” of mathematics is mandatory. Of course, the difficulty of talent and preparation (mathe performance course?) but I also think it could go out at level 7-8, depending on TH/TU.
Whoever shyes mathematics should deal with “applied computer science” on FH level!
And at what stage do you see complete induction as relativization?
I can hardly judge – perhaps at 8-9 – that should be expected.
V.I. is a 1-4, depending on the evidence. (in section 2)
The remaining math depending on the theme 5-10 (section 8)
Computer Science topics in study are about 1-7 (in section 4)
I studied Mathe, but I had an intern for two years. He found math in computer science very exhausting stochastics he even repeated.
And he certainly wasn’t one of the stupid.
Compared to mathematics in computer science studies, the entire school mathematics (also Mathe-Performance Course and Complete Induction) is only simple children’s calculations and that would be more than 1 on your scale.
The University Mathematics in Computer Science is about 8.
Uni-mathematics in mathematics and physics studies is at 10.
That’s realistic!
