Not to thread hijack, but speaking of math, how important is it when it comes to Computer Science degrees? Im thinking about switching majors to CS but Im afraid I might not be able to handle the higher level math.

Relatively unimportant when compared to an engineering degree. Calculus is probably the highest you'll go, and even then you probably wont finish the entire series. Everyone know this.

It depends on your school. My CS degree was an engineering degree, and I had to take math, math and more math. I took so much math I've worked as a mathematician since graduating.

And as to how important it is, I claim it is very important. If your program doesn't offer enough math you should go out and learn it on your own.

not gonnna lie, you will hate school. When all your buddies are going out drinking you WILL be at home doing homework. Its a BITCH.
If you are good at math and thinking outside the box its for you. You need to be very good at problem solving.
Typical homework assignments in uppper level classes (Thermo II) would be 3 problems that you would have a week to get finished. Pages and pages of calculations.
But i get to do some really cool stuff, well in a really geeky sort of way.
To be its very rewarding to go from

Fuck that's cool.

Looks like it should be the box art or loading screen for a John Carmack game. Send it to him:thumbsup:

really?? thanks guys! I've always wanted to do art for game developers... maybe i should pursue that instead. the piece is actually part of a series that I created
