Things have been quiet around here so I poked around for some old threads and found this one.
Let me ask some questions to those of you who may know more.

I've always been a little better than average at math, this year I was thrown head first into AP calc
It's tough but I'm working through it.

Here are my questions:

- How much math is really needed in computer science / computer engineering ?
As far as my limited expirence can tell programming is mostly abstracted algebra
besides of course certain things that require specialized math such as physics engines, etc.

- Is being gifted at math something you are born good at or something that can be learned/practiced to competence.
I have a fear that I will not be able to stick with high level math classes the way that I have been able to thusfar, is this fear something that should be disregarded or is it a chance.
