What percentage of maths or science is coverd in computer science?
Computer science is essentially comprised of math and programming. Life and earth sciences will not be important, physics is generally not too important but could be helpful in some situations.





You will want to take as much math as you can. Calc, statistics, linear algerbra, etc. Comp Science degrees basically start off with calc and move upward. You will be taking math pretty much throughout the degree. If you want to program vector graphics or AI, you need to know linear algebra, etc.
Reply:Very little, or computer science is a branch of maths, dependng on how you look at it. But it is necessary to learn to think in abstract terms.


So colleges would prefer someone with strong maths and some hard science skills.
