Math And The Computer Science Major
An anonymous reader writes "What sort of math are CS majors expected to take? Why are these classes useful? Does programming really have that much to do with math? Lineman.Net has published an article that answers these questions and more. If you are considering a CS degree, be sure to give it a look and make sure you are taking steps to prepare for your college career."

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Apple community when Slashdot pie magnet CowboyNeal confirmed that his baseball bat has dropped yet again, now down to the fragile case of his worthless Apple Powerbook. Coming on the heels of a recent GNAA survey which plainly states that CowboyNeal has finally LOST calories due to his savage beating upon his shitty Apple Powerbook, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Apple is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by CowboyNeals powerbook being smashed into pieces like Rob Malda's anus at a GNAA press conference
You don't need to be a CowboyNeal to predict Apples future. The smashed casing is on the wall: Apple faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Apple because Apple is dying. Things are looking very bad for Apple. As many of us are already aware, Apple continues to be bat raped. Sweaty enraged blubber flows like a river of blood.
Apples Powerbook is the most endangered of them all, having been smashed to a bloody pulp by resident obese slashdot editor CowboyNeal, who was quoted as saying, with sweat and fat streaming down his several chins, "FROM NOW ON THE ONLY MACS I'LL BE BUYING WILL BE BIG MACS". The sudden and unpleasant departure of his unwanted and crippled powerbook only serves to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Apple is dying.
Fact: CowboyNeals powerbook is dead

Perhaps, good sir, I am somewhat unique in this fact: I am completely capable of being lazy when I type on /., but I am intelligent. I have above average grammatical and spelling skizzilz, but I do not find it necessary to properly keep them displayed while posting on message boards. If I were being absolutely proper, I would not have even used contractions at all. I will admit to poor sentence structure on your second point, that was terrible.
use your turn signal! you people act like it's divulging information to the enemy
You copied this strait from the comments below the article's text. You could at least mention this isn't your writing or thoughts or...
If they did that, a child might be left behind (you insensitive clod).

Wow - some asshole thinks *that*'s offtopic?
Fine, let me put it another way, so that an idiot without rudimentary reading skills can understand.
High schools are not interested in you excelling at math. All their money has to go to making sure everyone can achieve the same level.
So it's up to you to pursue higher math education. I completed up to calc 4 in high school, but I was lucky that there were other interested students and administration support. I'm not sure I would have done it if the school (more than 10 years ago) hadn't made it easy to pursue.
But if you're a high school student who has to pursue it on your own (ie by taking a night class at a junior college), it's worth it!
A'hoy Captain of the bitter boat!
You are an asshat!
HAND!
