Do you have to be good in Math to be good in computer science?

Is it an absolute must to be strong in Math in order to be good in computer science? Can I still be successful in university computer science if I am average/slightly below average at math?

Do you have to be good in Math to be good in computer science?
It'll be difficult to understand the material if you are not that great in math. you really need to be able to understand linear algebra and statistics and a little calc to get through. So if it's higher level mathematics that you don't understand you should be fine. I wouldn't let this hinder your desire to major in comp sci because your profs will be more than willing to help you. and if they're not you should be going to a different university. good luck!
Reply:Nope. I think that people who are good at math are inherently good in computer science, because they love to solve things and figure things out. You have to have the patience to succeed in this industry.
