For computer majors, it is necessary to be good at mathematics, but this mathematics is not the "mathematics" we are familiar with, but mathematical thinking. Mathematical thinking is very important for our study and work, because it can not only enhance our logical thinking ability, but also allow us to make overall plans and achieve "knowing what it is". So it is very important to exercise our mathematical thinking ability.

In fact, this question is different and there is no unique answer. It all depends on which direction you study computer. In short, the computer major is not as unattainable as imagined, and the requirement for mathematical ability does exist, but it is not particularly harsh. But if a student's math ability is good, it will definitely give him a lot of points.

Learning software programming seems very complicated and difficult for a layman to be a programmer, but in fact, programming itself does not have high requirements for mathematics. Because the essence of programming is not to deal with things with advanced mathematical knowledge, nor to memorize codes, but to practice diligently on the premise of writing a lot of basic codes and finally learn according to your own understanding.

Such as programming, JAVA programming and other "technical" directions, computers do not use a lot of mathematical knowledge, but only use some simple function problems, most of which are high school mathematics. For example, pure theories such as research direction, algorithm design and analysis will require higher mathematics. (Of course, this is only for beginners who want to get started. When you enter this field and regard it as a rice bowl, the more you know, the greater the room for improvement, so this is not "mathematics uselessness")
