which degree should I choose if I like Maths but I don't like programming?

>> No.19541354

Mathematics

statistics and plan to do a masters degree in statistics or data science with several internships. "pure math" and "applied math" are both memes.

>> No.19541396

>>19541375
there is no such degree as "statistics" in my country

I've heard that Mathematics is meme degree and I need PhD to get good job

then force yourself to do CS. or do engineering. a degree in math is worthless contrary to what every autistic on 4chan thinks. i know because i have a degree in applied math in the US.

but I've tried many times to learn programming, I've learnt basics and did some apps but It's so boring for me and I definitely don't want to work as software engineer or software developer, I hate looking at code
problem with engineering is that I don't like Physics

Actuarial science, or math if your school doesn't offer actuarial science. Make sure to complete the P and FM actuarial exams before you graduate.

Engineering. Actual engineering, not Software "Engineering" aka programming. Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil. Take your pick, they're all fun, in demand, and lucrative.

You cannot avoid programming completely.
Even in math you'll likely deal with numerical methods and modelling with tools like R or Matlab. You need to get used to some of this.

A common way to focus on the math side while limiting the "software engineering" part might be to start out with math, and then focus on Machine Learning. But that seems to be a competitive space at this point. With a strong math background you're more likely to know what's going on than a typical CS person, but then again maybe nowadays there are enough existing off-the-shelf solutions you can just plug and play with so it's hard to tell for sure...

You can also force yourself through the core CS stuff and take as many theory of computation courses as possible wherever you have a choice between practical vs. theory courses.

Electrical Engineering is more math oriented but still has a handful of approachable programming subjects. I think you would like it

honestly just get a degree in math then focus on getting a job after

Math degree, but focus all your time in statistics and learn the fuck out of R and python

why do you keep making this retarded thread over and over again?
math is a shit undergrad unless youre oing an honours degree and planning to do research you waste 3 years doing plugnchug stuff just to take some proof based courses you leave with no vocational skills and the only thing youre qualified for is working at a kumon or tutoring high school kids
