Should you major in Computer Science if you suck at math ?

Nope. You will take every math the school offers as a part of a computer science curriculum. And it makes sense as a lot of coding is math at it's heart. He'd probably take less math going in engineering to be honest.

Most people suck at math because they never applied themselves.

philly.
as dude just said, most people just aren't good at math. I'd like to think computer science is more rooted in logic and problem solving than anything else anyway....

I'm majoring in computer science and the highest math I have to take is Linear Algebra which is right after Calc 2.
Computer Science is more coding and understanding algorithms. Math isn't a huge component at all really.
I suggest you take all your math courses over the summer in community college, because that shyt is hard af
at a four year university! Same with your sciences, I gotta take two science courses and lab.
If you put in the necessary work, nothing is too hard.

As a person who's fresh in the game.
Where could I start and what I could I read to build algorithms?

Like what engineering ? Mechanical engineering or something ?
Would you say that math in Computer Science is not that difficult ?

Hell no, that's like volunteering to go back into slavery.

Math is just about practice, I would suggest getting your pre reqs out of the way at a community college since it's cheaper (if you don't have a scholarship). Once you get the hang of math, you really learn how to problem solve and discover patterns. There's no such thing as being good or bad at math, you just can't cram shyt in and hope to pass. It really takes a lot of dedication. Either way, unless you are a Math major, you really are not required to take extremely advanced math courses. You definitely have to take calculus and probably some stats, but I'd suggest getting a tutor. Take advantage of the labs your college offers.
Absolutely not.
Since when?
i have a computer science degree...you dont have to be a math wiz but you have to be very competent to do it
