Liberal Arts and Science Units (Mathematics Units) (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone,

I'm doing the Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science with a major in the science stream (Computer Science)
Now I know that 48 Credit Points is the general full-time load.
So...

For a major in Computer Science the guidebook states that for the first year Comp Sci major I need:
Essential: 12 CP of Junior Comp Sci
Recommended: 12 CP of Mathematics and 24 CP of Electives.

INFO1103 - 6CP - Semester 1
JPNS1611 - 6CP - Semester 1
ATHK1001 - 6CP - Semester 1
INFO1003 - 6CP - Semester 1
Total: 24CP

MATH1004 - 3CP - Semester 2.
MATH1005 - 3CP - Semster 2
INFO1105 - 6CP - Semester 2
JPNS1612 - 6CP - Semester 2
WRIT1001 - 6CP - Semester 2
Total: 24CP

Year Total: 48CP

I went through the Computer Science Table of units and I saw that the only required MATH unit was Discrete Maths (MATH1004)(3CP) for further study, so as to even up the amount of CP for each semester I picked up Statistics as well.

The question is are the 12 CP of Regular level math ... necessary? (Even though they are recommended) Or are the 6CP of Math I have currently sufficient for Intermediate study..? >.>

(Not sure if the info i provided was enough ... or just not necessary for this question)
(Math table 1)
(Comp Sci Table 1)

I appreciate any help

For Comp Sci, MATH1004 is sufficient. MATH1901,2,3 are relatively irrelevant to comp sci. MATH1902 would definitely be unneeded. MATH1901/3 are calculus units and are useful for engineering.

Thanks ;D

Would Statistics be of any help? Or just a sufficient filler.

 

[asianese]

Stats would be pretty irrelevant too...

I sheep.

MATH1002 is useful if your interested in game design. But thats pretty much it I think.

 

[Amleops]

Statistics is relevant if you end up studying data analytics, otherwise it isn't needed so much.

You may be better off doing MATH1002 and MATH1004. They are the most relevant.
