Why Do I Hate Computer Science?<\/span><\/h1>\n

What makes computer science so difficult to learn? The complexity and repetitiveness. It is a creative art, but you need to have a high mathematical knowledge to understand it. What’s more, computers are exceedingly stupid. And since you have to tell them what to do, you need to pay attention to the most minor details. But what’s worse is that you have to do all this repetitive work while in school.<\/span><\/p>\n

Compilers are complex<\/span><\/h2>\n

Many people are swayed by the fact that most jobs in the IT field require some degree in computer science, but they don’t actually need it. Computer science is a growing industry, and many people don’t have the requisite education to talk to computers. That lack of experience is holding back organizations. Computation is the new currency, and most domains require some level of it. But domain experts don’t speak the language of the machine – they must play telephone. DeveloperOnr hand, translatedevelopers their documents from the domain experts into something that a machine can understand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite being one of the most challenging degrees in history, a computer scientist’s work is incredibly rewarding. Computer science involves more than most people think, despite the long hours, high contact hours, and demanding exams. You learn how to program computers, but you also learn how to solve mathematical problems. It’s an art to create efficient code that solves real-world problems. Unfortunately, however, for many, the rewards of this career are not as appealing as they may initially seem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Programming is a creative art<\/span><\/h2>\n

Many people think of programming as a technical process, but this is not the case. Programming is an art, and as such, it requires creativity. While computation is precise and the outcome of a machine, the human mind must be involved in the process. Programming is also a creative activity, as it involves debugging and repairing processes. Suppose you are attracted to logic, puzzles, and a sense of curiosity. In that case, you might be a good candidate for this career.<\/span><\/p>\n

While you can learn to program by watching others, there’s nothing quite like figuring out the problem on your own. The biggest reward in programming is in fixing a bug or error. Generally, the more complex the error is, the more satisfying you’ll feel. But programming can be frustrating if you don’t enjoy it. You’ll find yourself being frustrated and unhappy for a long time. A standing table can help you sit comfortably while you’re programming.<\/span><\/p>\n

Creating an animation or a video game using code is also an excellent way to make creative art. For example, a heavily modified version of the 1980s video game Breakout can produce visually stunning glitches. Creative coding isn’t just for games; it can also be used to make art installations, audiovisual presentations, and even product prototypes. A few of the most popular creative programs are those that use symbols and images to express ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

While programming may seem like a simple logic-based discipline, it’s actually a creative form of logic. There are many different ways to program a software application, and every programmer will code differently. It’s crucial to understand how the output of a program relates to the process. This is because programming is an art based on logic. In addition to logic, every programmer is different, and therefore, it’s important to respect each other’s process and decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The career of a programmer has a lot to do with the skills one will learn. However, it is also a creative career. In the creative field of computer science, new programs are like a blank canvas, and different programming languages are the paintbrushes. As a programmer, you will have the opportunity to create something from nothing. For many, the process of creation is a creative one, and the benefits are plentiful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because coding is everywhere, creative programming is available everywhere. Zach Lieberman is one artist using Google Maps and machine learning to create a work of art. Using optimization algorithms, card power, and machine learning, he asks viewers to draw shapes on the screen, which translates those shapes into real spaces on earth. This is not an easy process. However, the end results are worth it! And it’s important to realize that creativity is not the same in all fields.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have to be a mathematical genius to understand CS<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you are passionate about computer science, you must have an in-depth understanding of mathematics. While the traditional approach to mathematics involves operations and calculations, computer science focuses on logical thinking, which is how computers think. However, most computer science degrees do not require you to be a math genius. The subjects you study are usually interesting and not too practical. Even if you are not particularly good at math, you should have a natural curiosity about puzzles and numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learning computer science is not easy, though. The more complex components will take you years to master, while the easier ones can be mastered within a month. This is why some students feel intimidated about this field. Still, you should remember that people learn step-by-step over many years. After all, it takes months to learn an instrument, and you cannot learn a foreign language in a semester.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if you are not a mathematical genius, mathematics can help you immensely in computer science. It gives you the mental tools and framework to think in a logical way, which is essential for programming<\/a>. But, to become a true computer genius, you must have the aptitude to master all the aspects of the field. This means that you must be able to use logical thinking and creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n

While many people think you have to be a mathematical genius to understand it, this is a misconception. While some people may have innate talent, others do not. In other words, it takes hard work and patience<\/a> to be a math genius. It takes hard work and a lot of patience to achieve success in this field. That doesn’t mean that you have to be a genius, but you do need to have a reasonable amount of intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a math major, you can stop learning after earning your four-year degree, but you should consider further education to advance your career. After all, you won’t be a Nobel laureate based solely on talent alone. You will have to position yourself with education and experience that employers value. According to U.S. News, the average salary for a mathematician in 2017 was $103,010 a year. With experience, mathematicians can earn up to $130,000 annually.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learning to code in computer science<\/a>\u00a0requires a high level of abstract thinking. It involves significant amounts of math, science, and engineering. Having the ability to categorize and apply the appropriate techniques will help you become an influential computer scientist. In addition, you’ll need to be creative and intuitive, as it is still a complex art form. You’ll also need to practice time management skills to ensure that you have enough time to participate in extracurricular activities.<\/span><\/p>\n
