Ask HN: CS students/graduates, Did you struggle with Math?
If so, how were you able to get by ? Did you feel like you were falling behind much ? Were you still able to grasp concepts like complexity and other such things ?
Thanks
Edit: I'm currently taking MIT OCW 6.006 (Introduction to algorithms) and some of the math goes a bit over my head but I'm still able to follow along (for the most part). However I've observed, especially during recitations, that most of the students tend to have a very strong grasp of the fundamental math concepts required to understand the material. I'm curious to know if there are any students who struggled/have struggled with this because it seems to me that CS students are math wiz-kids (from the outside looking in).
