Part 2: • What is Computer Scien...
Versión en español de este video: • ¿Qué es la Informática?
In this part 1 video of "What is Computer Science?" I cover programming and discrete math in some detail.
Computer science is often thought of as just glorified programming. But once you enter undergrad you will realize this is not the entire story. Computer science has more to it including discrete math, algorithms, theory of computation, hardware programming, and more. If you just want to learn how to program, then the computer science major will be more than you are expecting.
In this video I mostly cover discrete math and concepts within it because of how important it is for classes to come. Although it's not used in all your classes, I show you examples so you have an idea of what math you will encounter.

For all highschoolers and University students having midlife crisis. Computer science is fun since you get to build stuff that doesn't yet exist or build something that you use and make it a lot better. Computer science is the study of computers involving complex algorithms and you'll be looking for stuff on the internet and stackoverflow alot. you don't have to memorize everything like a computer but you have to know how to make a computer memorize and process the information and perform the activities that you want it to. - CS undergrad

Good video. Im in the least popular branch in CS, cs theory research. I'm glad you mentioned induction, if one dives into program verification, you'll see that induction is essential to doing any kind of proof because induction corresponds to recursion in programming. Induction on the natural numbers may not be interesting, but think about induction on your data types and proving properties about them. In fact, induction does not only apply to natural numbers, but any inductively defined set.

@@verysmartultrahuman939 I'm still in college but I've done research into this. But keep in mind you're getting perspective from a UK student. Yes, maths and programming is a decent chunk of the course. But I find there is more "theory" than anything else. I'm talking about how a computer *actually works*, and I think that's what you should focus on: System architecture Network Topologies Fetch execute cycle And programming and maths of course Market/Job stability seems to be great to be honest, even though the big companies are letting off a lot of people lately, there will only be a continuing demand for the skills in CS and smaller companies are hiring a lot of people. Not to mention start ups as well. In the UK, a computer science degree will take you 3 years if you get it right the first time. It is suggested you learn maths though, CS is embedded with lots of maths. I hope this was insightful :) look up a university curriculum for computer science to learn more and go from what the modules are on is my main advice. If a module is "Fundamentals of Programming", pick up a coding language like Python or Java as I'd suggest. Or something like AI, learn how AI works. That's my advice for you, good luck and let me know how it goes :))

@@ruben_9868 thanks a lot mate, another question, can I get a software developer job without getting the CS degree? Like can I get a coding certificate or something similar and get a decent job?

[@ruben_9868]

@@verysmartultrahuman939 Yes, yes you can, there's no one route to it. That being said, it's usually multiple certs that will be what you need, or bootcamps for example is often the other route people take. What matters most, as with most other fields, is experience. The education route is only recommended as it has a clear structure that is easier to follow, so you're more likely to stick to it because you have to. I don't know much about the other ways, but I heard bootcamps are good. So look up how to become a self taught programmer or professional.

@@ruben_9868 will do, thanks a lot for the tips. hope you enjoy the holidays.

Real quick I just want to say I past experience with scripting c++, and currently coding java and watching you progam C, I finally realize that all languages really do have a lot of similarities. The for loop has -initialization -condition -increment just thought I point that out

[@zachstar]

Yeah once you learn one it's much easier to learn another!

[@carldrogo9492]

Well, all of those languages are C-Based!

i now understand what this is about and if it really is for me to get into. wish i could find some kind of trial class.

THanks for all the great content. Question for any computer science, computer engineering, computer software people watching. My son is a senior in high school and planning to major in in a computer degree. He excels in all his AP calculus,statistics, physics, chemistry classes. My question is that he suffers from a speech disorder and communication is difficult for him. Some of the stuff I read said verbal communication skills are essential for these majors. Any advice?

[@hello_dayana]

I'm sure they can accommodate his disability. Communication is important in any major. But I think he can just speak with the code he writes. Most of the time I am just explaining my logic in my code to my teammates but that could easily be replaced by me just inserting detailed comments in my code. I dont think speaking is necessary.

[@JOJOSHgaming7514]

There's actually a minor bug in the for loop you used at kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqvPYXiCjsSHn68. The initialization part of the for loop cannot have boolean expressions(==), but assignment operations only.

Yes bro in Chapter name," AP"

[@wojak6793]

These particular questions are really easy, any IMO level student in the US shouldve solved it by 5th or 6th grade

I can’t believe I’m listing to this guy for a computer science major I watch is skits all the time I heard his voice then saw his face and cried

[@Steve-sz4bh]

I’m going to be a CS major at Cal Tech next year, super exited.

[@Kevin-cy2dr]

Congrats,you must be a genius to get into Cal Tech
