You need to be good at maths to become a computer engineer?

August 4th, 2016

Well, I kinda made a mistake by going to my current high-school, I really hate what I’m doing there, about telecommunications (circuits etc) and it’s bound to physics which I hate lols. I kinda wanna become a computer engineer, but lots of people told me that it is bound to maths, and I suck at maths xD and yet I don’t know any kind of programming, I just game, post on forums, watch / create / upload videos these kind of things.
I’m kinda confused on what I wanna become in life

Answer #1
Yeah, you do need to be good at maths i guess..I’m also deciding to go into computer engineering atm! Physics and chemistry >.<
Answer #2
Well, sorry but you really need to be good at maths to become computer engineer. I know that since I was going to that kind of school, lucky that I’m expelled from it xD

Answer #4
But seriously what does maths have to do with computer engineering? :S I mean, it’s easy to learn how to fix stuff and install stuff into computers.. I kinda know a few things, but i guess the programming part is bound to maths/

thats the best reply on this thread and tell your advisor your willingness on computer engineering but your not good in math as for experience wise im a computer science graduate and its full of math too when im still at college
Answer #8
If your not a fan of maths have a look at computer networking (CISCO route). Theres some maths in it (subnet calculations) but not an awful lot. Or, as you say you create/edit videos, have you thought about doing something computer media based? Web design, video editing, graphic design etc.
Answer #9
i think yes math is necessary but it will not be too difficult when you have a good tutor so don’t hate math

what you’re thinking about is a computer technician, which is a title you gain with 6 months of training and a certificate not 4 years of college and a diploma
