Hi,
I will be commencing an education next summer. I am interested in IT, computers and technology and because of that I've been considering studying to become a Software Engineer, because of good job opportunities and a high salary. I have the studied the required subjects (Math A level, Physics B level and Chemistry C level) to be eligible for the education. But I felt I was struggling with math in school, so I'm worried about the role of Math for the Software Engineering education since A level is needed. The university I'm considering to go to requires (Scandinavian grade system) an average of at least 8 to be eligible for the education (I have 9,2, which is considerably higher), OR an average of 7 in each of the subjects: Math, physics and chemistry. I pass that too (Average of 8 in math). BUT, since the education requires Math A level and I already felt I was struggling in school in Math, I am worried if the math is too difficult. I wouldn't want to start an education and be unable to finish it.
Are there any Software Engineers/People studying Software Engineering on this site, that can share some of their experiences with math in Software Engineering? I've always got fairly good grades in school, so should I be worried?
I tried e-mailing a student at the university that I wish to attend (the university listed his e-mail in case people wanted to ask questions), but the e-mail was no longer in use. That's why I'm asking here now, in case you wonder why.
Thanks in advance for responses, I'll be checking back whenever I can.
