For two extra classes, would you get a math minor?

[notfred]

I'm a computer science major, and upon graduating, I'll be two classes shy of a math minor. Think it's worth the extra effort?

 

[her209]

Nah.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

It'll look good when you apply for a job IMO

 

[Juice Box]

Negative

 

[boyRacer]

I would.

 

[BW86]

If you like math, go for it.

 

[Spikesoldier]

go for it

 

[frankie38]

yes, what else can you minor in with a few classes

 

[Babbles]

If you really are bored. How my experience in the science field is that a minor is completely meaningless. If you try to 'brag' about getting a minor you will probably get laughed at.
Depending on your field a BS is almost meaningless.

would it take longer to graduate?

 

[jlee]

2 classes? Probably...

 

[DaveSimmons]

It shows you're a little more hardcore than typical math-fearing CS folk, and might give you the edge applying for a scientific development job. Not worth staying extra for if you're heading off to grad school.

If you haven't had a Numerical Analysis class yet, that's a fun subject. Real analysis is a lot of work, but not too bad if you're strong in formal logic.

 

[randomlinh]

go for it.

 

[DrPizza]

stay an extra year and get a math major!

Sure. I plan on doing the same thing with Chemistry.

 

[Mandos]

I would.

 

[cheapgoose]

no

 

[Anubis]

no because Analsys sucks ass, theres no reason to probe that calc sorks, newton did that for us hundreds of years ago

 

[jammur21]

2 classes, do it

 

[Jmman]

At my school CS majors like myself have to get a math minor. Not an option....

 

[Colt45]

might as well i suppose.

 

[Babbles]

I can care less what you do with your time and life, but I wonder if any of these people who are saying yes actually have a reason to say yes. As somebody else mention you could take a year to get another bachelor's degree which would be meaningful.

The fact is, at least in my experience, is that a minor doesn't mean anything.

 

[Mandos]

I would. Thats good stuff.

After four years you get a degree majoring in CS. After two classes, you can have a minor in Math. Sounds like a good deal to me.
