/who/ Pure Math + Computer Science here?

Who here is majoring in CS and Pure Math? It is the best of both worlds. You blow away code monkeys in programming and blow away math majors with useful skills.

What classes are you double majors in cs & math taking?

You have no reason to major in computer science, not one.

I do pure math and cs, so what is your point

Can you sum the primes under 2 million, implement bubble sort, and decrypt a XOR cipher?

>and blow away math majors with useful skills.
you really think that?

Nearly every CS+Math double major seems to slack off and pick the easiest math electives and ends up learning nothing.

The smart ones go into EE/CoE+Math.

The point is that you could use your time more wisely only majoring in math and spending the rest on research and learning areas of CS that are actually useful to you

yes, take same pure math classes as they do, except i know cs and they don't.

i too am trapped i durm

No one cares that you can design a webpage you fucking faggot.

I'm CS and Math. I do it because I love math and think Computer Science is a really exciting application of it. The obvious connection between the two is applied math.

The way to do this right is just to note that you cannot compromise. There is no nice, take this half of the math classes, take this half of the CS classes. You want everything from math, and everything from CS (that goes with your interests, i.e. don't take a webdev class if you're crypto.) Its a double major, and its double the work. Don't tslack and you'll be the best.

No point in a double major. Just major in pure math and get a minor in CS, at most. You can teach yourself a lot of those skills anyways, or learn them with free online courses, so unless you're not paying for it you don't really need any classes that teach you "useful skills"

Jack of all trades

master of none.

which is why you come on sci

you don't understand how the web even works. your opinion doesn't matter dawg.

Don't listen to the parrots in this thread, OP. Instruction in CS from Duke is going to be valuable from both an employment perspective and as a learning opportunity. The reason CS gets shit on is that most of the second-rate cow colleges the average Veeky Forums user goes to have shitty CS programs, but Duke is good for the field. Don't let a bunch of undergrads dissuade you from taking advantage of a golden opportunity.

You mean a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one?

>Porn-whore university

>cs major
>take same pure math classes

Orly?

You have little reading comprehension.

As long as you graduate on time. Big software companies will pick a CS major over other majors because they value loyalty to their specific field. Also going to grad school for CS is a lot easier than going to grad school for math.

Even though I plan to get a PhD in CS I still plan to study math rigorously.
