  Yes. That is the logical conclusion. I am in fact, not comfortable with math. But I already have come past the limit to opt out of Physics.

  Before even thinking to write this post, I myself thought that, since I can’t opt out of Physics anymore, I might as well try my best concentrating to learn math to that specific level which is required to complete the Physics degree along with a PhD additionally. PhD being an extra achievement to enable myself to apply for larger science fields.

  Then I thought, how much “extra” math is needed to know to actually make a name in coding world? How much would I have to train my mind, how much would I have to compete with myself, can I really rival a born-genius…

  Eventually I’ll have to learn math to do well in Physics. I’m just interested to know about the broader need and application where math will exist as my knowledge foundation.

    Computer science requires less math than physics but is only a couple classes away from a minor in mathematics. So pretty dense but less than physics depending on your program.

    There is ALOT of high paying work for programmers who know physics.
