Is it possible to learn computer science without physics and Electronics?

Learning CS without physics and electronics is like learning medicine without biology and chemistry. Mathematics, physics and electronics are foundation of modern computer science. How will you manage memory if you don’t know what is it, how it works and what limitations does it have.

Why is physics required for Computer Science?

The reason that physics is often required for CS programs is that they’re administered through engineering schools, and the relevant accrediting body requires that degree programs have certain basic science requirements. CS programs offered through liberal arts colleges don’t generally require physics or chemistry.

What are the math requirements for Biocomputation and computer engineering courses?

The math, science, and engineering fundamentals requirements for the biocomputation and computer engineering tracks differ from those listed here. Please see the program sheets for specifics. CS majors may use Math 19/20/21, 41/42, or AP credit to satisfy the calculus requirement.

What math classes do I need to take for Computer Science?

The undergradute curriculum requires two CS math classes: Mathematical Foundations of Computing (CS103) and Introduction to Probability for Computer Scientists (CS109).
