I got you covered.

This is /sci/, not /g/.

>enjoy discrete maths, linear algebra, automata theory, linear programming, etc
>struggle with anything calculus past calculus I
anyone else?

>artificial intelligence
>brain
a brain is not required for complex behaviour to emerge that is greater than the sum of its parts

I came here to see 1 gif /sci/ and you failed me.

in all seriousness though, I vote we change the name to Computing Science.
It fits so well it's lead me to believe that the original name "computer science" had more to do with the secondary definition of computer (that is the act of calculating numbers and NOT the desktop/laptop personal computer) The more commonly used meaning of computer (as in PC) doesn't have a verb such as "computing" so the name's less confusing. That is unless kids want to try to invent one in order to be trendy like they do with "adulting" Maybe one day "Macbooking" will become a popular new verb among the zoomers, and it'll get easily confused with "Macbook Science" which is actually the science of squishing hamburgers inside very thick college books.

>it's literally called science

Less of a science than computer science.... and yet, pic related

Who would've thunk that an understanding of mathematics is important in making computation machines do interesting, useful things.

Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. — (Mis)attributed to Edsger Dijkstra, 1970.

[Computer science] is not really about computers -- and it's not about computers in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerators, and biology is not about microscopes and Petri dishes...and geometry isn't really about using surveying instruments. Now the reason that we think computer science is about computers is pretty much the same reason that the Egyptians thought geometry was about surveying instruments: when some field is just getting started and you don't really understand it very well, it's very easy to confuse the essence of what you're doing with the tools that you use."

>CS is science
Linguistics is a science because it deals with a natural phenomena. Computers and computer language are not natural phenomena to be studied.
And also:
>The "language" being used is not math
So that makes it neither math nor science.

electrical engineering and it's not even close.
EE learn and use a lot more calculus, algebra, and probability theory,.

CS majors learn a lot of abstractions, but EE actually understand what got abstracted away.
it's easy to turn an EE into a software dev, but it's hard to turn a CS into a hardware developer and some stuff is just way out of their depth, because it takes months to years of study to grasp signal processing, electromagnetic fields, optoelectronics, IC's, VLSI + microfab, hardware circuit design, etc.
so ironically EE majors wind up knowing more about computers than """computer science"""".

i'd say the only exception is if you plan specifically to go into research for deep theory in algorithms for cryptography, quantum, graphics, compilers.. and even then as an EE you can easily catch up.

tldr go EE, CS is essentially a subfield of EE

>maths
Protractor, pencil, equations, ruler.

>physics
Just slap astronomy on the page as a sub-branch of it.

>chemistry
Already nailed it above.

>biology
DNA sequences, animals, micro-organisms.
