Computer science is literally math. I don't mean that it's math when you go back far enough, I mean it's just another way to represent math.

I mean, I can't exaggerate this at all. They are the same thing.

If computer science was math, then wouldn't taking calculus be redundant?

Colleges like to think that Java is computer science.

For my comp sci degree I have to take Calc 1, Calc 2, and linear algebra. That's it.

the guitar hero live devs seem to have missed the memo that strings on a guitar are independent

you can't hit a note on the first fret on the top string if you're holding the second fret on the bottom string in-game

...no? CS is all maths, but there's more to maths than that.

I think he's using \subset, not equality.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Your college may be separating Calc material differently. My calc 1, 2, and 3 may be equivalent to your calc 1 and 2.

Your Calc 3 was probably my Calc 103.

Nah, calc 1/2/3 are generally similar, from how I understand it. 1 is the beginning, 2 has the funky integration, 3 is multivariable.

Well ok then. I (think) I heard that at some point my college calculus was in a single semester class, and they broke it into multiple semesters since as a single semester it was crammed with material. I thought maybe other colleges had similar situations but different solutions.

If everyone facepalmed as much as I want to right now at that, palm trees would become an endangered species and facepalming would become illegal, denying us our key defense against things like that.

Yeah. CS is math like biology is chemistry.
