Computer science mainly consists of logic and math, applied to computers.

On an unrelated note, it's interesting that Chemistry is a required class in high school, but there are no mandatory computer science classes.

Outdated educational systems, they need a major revamp imo.

I heard some schools are getting rid of teaching cursive writing and instead are teaching kids how to type. I'm down with that.

My 3rd grade teacher told me that middle school and high school requires you to write in script.

Lies.

I dig it a lot man, and I don't usually like electronica. Maybe I'm biased because of that sweet beard you got there.

Thanks! It might also be because I don't think it really sounds like "electronica" per say, which is usually EDM or ambient. I write songs for this essentially the same way I used to write for metal.

But it is probably the beard.

I'm History/Poli. Sci, who would also do English, Sociology, Anthropology, Asthetics and stuff like that if I had the time. Humanities>Math AINEC.

Wouldn't be a bad idea. Honestly, my handwriting is sometimes a mix of cursive and regular. Although I think typing is a way more important skill to have than writing script.

I'm not a bad touch typist myself, I bough a mechanical keyboard with no inscriptions on the keys. It's helping quite a bit.

Agreed. I mean, if you have to learn covalent and ionic bonds, which I guess could be interesting just know and appreciate how life works, why not do the same for computers?

It's sad that some people just have no idea how a computer actually works, both the hardware and software.

Math has its ups and downs. Algebra isn't too bad. I enjoy discrete things.

The topology/analysis stuff, though...

I have no beef with certain humanities. From what I understand, philosophy gave birth to science and math, so I can appreciate that. A philosopher like Descartes contributed to science with his theory of the void.

What I can't stand is literature. Analyzing plays and books.

I type over 75 WPM, so there.

I easily type around 100.

It's always the beard. haha But nah man, I hear what you're saying. It's not typical electronica, It's got a different vibe to it. I really like the orchestra stuff man. I'm a sucker for music composition of any kind though.

Different strokes for different folks. I'd rather spend a year straight, 24/7, 365 reading/watching and then analyzing literature and cinema than spend one hour in a Math course.

You mean you personally can't stand it, or you disapprove of people who go into that field?

English is superior.

English is superior.

It depends on what you want to do. I haven't used anything except the most basic math in years, but literature has had a profound influence on my life.

Edit: Just realized you meant English, not Lit.

Chill bro. Without math, the world would be completely different.
