Maths in Software Engineering (1 Viewer)

[the_matrix]

Hi! I'm currently doing 3U maths in year 11 and I was just curious about what maths is like in university software engineering. Is it as hard as the electrical/civil/aeronautical/etc maths or significantly easier? How about when compared to Computer Science maths?

What topics in maths should I be proficient in for preparation?

Cheers!

You will learn the matrix

SE and CS will probably both require you to do about 4 maths courses, more if you want. Discrete maths is the most important for both degrees. 4u maths is recommended if you want a head start.

I checked the assumed knowledge for software engineering in UNSW and you need 3U mathematics and physics. Welp. There goes my holidays.

Pick up 4U since it will help a lot
