Hi!

I would like to get a computer science degree, but math is not my forte! Is there a school out there that requires a less brutal beating in math than other schools, and perhaps focuses more on other aspects of computer education?

Thank you!

I'd recommend the University of La Verne.

It's a misconception that CS is about Math. Advanced math like Calculus is symbolic, not numerical. CS is really
more about LOGIC. If you do well with puzzles, CS
may work out for you. CS is about thinking... not
calculation. Creating computer programs is more like
writing an essay, not doing green-eyeshade accounting
work. Engineering is mathematical. CS is actually
more "left brain" imagination.
