I just finished my first year in CS, and I can tell that one thing a computer scientist must be able to do is to sit down and dig deep down into a problem, and try to make it sound as logical as possible. you really gotta dig deep until your brain starts hurting.
That's the problem with CS, ah it's far worse than mining for diamonds for an example. But I really like it, it feels like a fun adventure of some kind
how is computer science? like I mean..is it a good course after this u r getting a good job? bcz I'm interested in cs but i don't have any idea about it. should i choose computer science? do u have any recommendations for me?
I am so fortunate to have spent time with Prof. Roumani, I graduated in 2015 and am back here to hear him talk. He is a brilliant teacher, makes the subject easy to understand. I am so glad I took all the courses he taught at York. Thanks again Professor. You made CS fun.
this is probably the most accurate example of what a computer science degree is like, while you will have programming modules and problems to tackle, but its minimal compared to the rest of the content on a CS programme.
That is the same thing our Professor told us when we started, "Don't expect to learn how to implement coding, what we focus on in this major is logical problem solving".
Same here! I'm looking a career where I can use Math and Applied Sciences in any form. My background is in Electronic and Communications Engineering and I'm planning to combine it with an MS in CS to develop business ideas (ECE + CS or EE + CS = awesome combo).
Thank you for sharing this. I have bet my future in this field as it is my deepest passion. It's what I've learnt is what I want to do, but a lot of self doubt is imminent to grow from that. To hear someone exactly define my passion in words that I've been struggling to define. To express what it is that drives my passion is very reassuring. Thank you.
after i watched this video, my insight is very open because the video is very good to give information Computer Science Advice for Students from Professor Hamzeh Roumani
im already on my 3rd year in CS and i am very worried about what would my career be in the industry bc im not so good in programming, in fact im having trouble with programming but I really do enjoy math and logic. This video gave me somewhat a heads up when he mentioned about CS is not totally about programming
Colleen Elizabeth Berbon can u plz help im stressing over if i should choose computer science in college right now im in year 10 and didnt take computer as a course so would it be ok if i do it in college
Hey, I'm finishing 3rd year also, I'd recommend you to watch this video "ruclips.net/video/SzJ46YA_RaA/видео.html" ("Map of Computer Science"), it resumes a lot of disciplines that are part of CS that you could get into once you're finishing studying, it touches a lot of subjects but superficially, you could pick one and search to know more about it. Cheers!
I was thinking of getting into biology and then going to med school and becoming a radiologist but this entire summer I've been getting into coding, graphics design, hardware, some math and overall just tinkering with my computer and phone software. I really enjoy doing this, I dare say more than any course I took in highschool, even gym lol. I really want to go into something like this but my university has excepted me for biology. hopefully I make up my mind soon so I can either continue the way I'm going or change. I really want to start a business someday too.
Agreed that has been my experience as well and it can never be a bad thing to learn higher mathematics such as calculus. I believe he is trying to be as general as possible as the fields you can go into are that broad.
To be honest my first choice was to become a physicist and work in research, but the.n I learned that I would need to get at least a doctorates before I can get a real career. So I settled on CSCI and this video is really reassuring because ultimately I wanted a major that permeated all sciences...mathematics /CSCI is that major and now I believe I have made the right choice
This is awesome, before I wasn't sure if I should give CS a shot, its always sounded interesting, but I never thought about trying it. I know its a lot of hard work but everything involves a lot of hard work and this video in combination with what others say makes me want to invest that much energy into this.
That is true, computer science and computers in general did originate from mat but actual computer science is getting less and less intensive. My old college actually got rid of multivariable calculus as a requirement for CS students. Being good at math is a plus of course.
Im going to be a freshman this year and I picked CS as my major. I am really interested in computers and I would like to go off to be a computer systems analyst. I hope that 4 years from now I can go back to this comment and be able to say "I did it".
What he said around 3:00 give or take a few seconds, is one of the things I try to tell a few of my fellow classmates. When it comes to programming, you can't expect the instructor to teach you everything you need to know. Gotta engage in it yourself and teach yourself how to do the majority of it. If you expect to sit back, as he said, it's not going to work out for you.
Morad Shebli same...... I hate irrational thinking and I'm the type of person who likes to get things right and make it make sense ...... It's just satisfying to make the two dots connect and know why they do
Too bad very few of us really have the ability to think logically yet we all think we are logical.I think this belief is also the product of our illogical thinking
Don't be afraid of going for Computer Science it is a great exciting field. I dropped out of 2 years medicine because it was boring and went straight to CS without any background knowledge. Love it! Hard at the beginning but once you get grasp of things it will be really exciting with the things you can do. :)
okay same as me, going to start my freshman and taking CS as major because its my 1st love but I am not that much good in mathematics ..hope we both end in living our dreams . I wish and i really pray we can do it we can do it
The way he describes the people that are perfect for computer science is basically me...but I don't know any programming language, how can I get started and do I need to know any language when if I want to apply for computer science?
It can makes things easier , because most intro CS courses are about programming (usually). But it's not necessary IMO. My biggest advice for you would be to brush up on your math.. I know the guy in the video mentioned that CS is about discrete math, which isn't taught in high school, but you'll also have to do linear algebra, calc 1 , 2 , 3 and statistical analysis.. which are all definitely based on what you learn in high school.
This guy understands what many of you in the comment section don't: computer science is a huge field and programming and mathematics is only a very small part of it. If you just sit at a desk a write a program that solves some company's problem, you aren't a computer scientist, you're a programmer. But meanwhile there are tons of computer science jobs without programming, as he says, analysts, consultants, marketers, depending on the company this job would require a computer science background.
that's like cs major with SE concentration. CS is pretty much the science behind the code and SE are builders of the code made by the Computer scientists
I'm pretty sure comp science is indeed about programming...sure, some people can be business analysts and delegate other people to program, but the person who is interacting with the computer and giving it instructions is the programmer
Dont be afraid of math in comp sci.. You'll be taking all the math up to linear algebra in practically every other major, and linear algebra is basically where it breaks for comp sci, so its just one more math class..
As for "communication engineer" everyone needs software people. Absolutely everyone. Personally, I work very close to the metal and I like it that way (drivers). But I'm not a EE. In the end, the degree itself is just a degree. You don't really learn much of real utility until you're in the trenches. The job you take after school is what's going to define you. If you like communications, hammer companies in those fields. People pay for specialists, not generalists so it's a good thing.
I am just fearing maths in BSCS should i choose BSSE degree or cs one confusion :/ I am not really into coding but some research based field in CS or Networking .. i think AI would be very demanding in few years.. So with what degree should i go.. ?
I know I'm going to do well. Not only because I love to study and go to school but because I have been working in restaurants for 20 years (sigh). I am so stoked to be back in school for mathematics and computer science! Currently reading SICP to prepare for my computer science courses.
Hi I do computer science for A level but not maths and I REALLY want to continue computer science at university so just out of interest I looked up for the entry requirements for computer science at the University of York and it says A level MATHS is crucial when you said it hasn't got anything to do with calculus?? It really annoys me the fact that maths A level for computer science at university is more important than Computer Science itself which honestly is equally tough plus you get a really good head start for the course at uni if you have good prior knowledge?!
I understand the what your saying, but people have different bias on these majors. CS might be very hard and some might take up to 6 years to complete since some fails and decides to pursue a different major, but there will be others who are intelligent and will understand and come to love with this. Thats why im applying for a major in business and minor in CS. If not then ill major in Cs and possibly economics.
A lot of things that he is talking about may not apply to the university you are looking to join. For example the university of Groningen that is located in the north of the nederlands has a lot of math. One of the first classes you will join is calculus.
This is a talk to get students into the department. When this prof says you do not have to be good at maths, that is depends. Right now there is now a bifurcation between IT and CS. The two fields are now splitting it seems. However, if you are going to be a CS as a profession, it is best you have some decent maths. In fact continuous maths may be relevant if you are into computational maths that appear in say biotech. Having maths can only make you a stronger professional.
The basics in C++ is exactly the same in Java C# VB. It isn't any harder. Syntax is the easy part. Solving actual problems is hard. Flow of control, data types, functions, classes, data structures... are the same in any language. C++ is a high level language, it isn't one to one with machine code like assembly code is. What's harder? Only that there may not be easy premade libraries you import to do everything for you as in python. u can use .Net w/ C++
What classes you actually take and their content depends on what University/College you attend. In US, there are many required math courses. This video is made for.... Canadians, apparently.
hi I'm 15 and I'm doing my second year of GCSE Computer science of a three year period I'm always getting stuck when it comes to programming in vb and my Teacher believes I can do better. For me I know I'm not putting the effort in that I should be putting in but I think it's because of the fact that I have no fun or passion in doing this subject and I'm beginning to regret taking it. If you have any tips on what I should do can you reply please. great video btw keep it up.
I'm a csci major but I'm really starting to hate computers lol. SO MANY times I've tried to install something or follow along with some tutorial and it doesn't work. Why doesn't it work? No idea. I have something different or new or old and it's not compatible. So what do you have to do? Dig around message boards or forums until you come across a solution. You attempt the solution and maybe it doesn't work. Why doesn't it work? No idea... And it starts again lol. It's maddening. Or maybe you do get the solution to work, but you don't know what you did or why it worked. You just followed along with a particular solution to a particular problem. There's no understanding; no insight; nothing. It's just "I clicked a button and entered some random command and now it works." It's so goddamn frustrating. There's sooooooooooooooooooooooo many different things. You'll understand one thing but still be completely lost on others. It's hard to connect the dots and see how things relate to each other. It's such a pain. I don't get how some people seem to know everything about computers. I've never understood that. Or maybe they know some things but talk about them as if they know more, when they really don't.
Almost no one knows everything about computers, and csc shouldn't be about installing programs and trying to find out why other people's programs don't work, but about getting you to have a fundamental understanding of programming, a general ide of how computers work, and getting you to think about all the different things you can compute with these machines.
Most of the times this happens, is because u are just diving very fast onto something. You should read some docs first, dont underestimate them, its essential, atleast on a basic level. And when u look for a solution to the errors, try to understand what it does, dont copy paste and hope its fixed forever. If problem still perssists and there are not relative fixes to find, u can always ask a question on stackoverflow or something
Nice video, but do not let this guy fool you in that CS is not math-heavy. Even though most people will not use it, CS programs generally require three calculus classes, differential equations, and linear algebra in addition to the discrete math he mentions. My personal opinion is that they use math as a way of "hazing" students, in other words, even if it is over-kill, they make you do it to prove you are serious (and to not have the rest of the Engineering School make fun of them). Problem with this is that they scare away a lot of people who may not be great mathematicians but could be great computer scientist (read that as women if you want).
@SEOandPositioning Tell me one person who has done MCA and made it big. I bet, u cant. While there are innumerable engineers. And by the way, how old is the MCA course? I mean when was it started?
lol corporation if you are very into CS then you should definitely check it out. Because once you enjoy to do something, and have passion for it, then it’s worth it even if you’re not good at it.
so let's see, I like to think about complex problems and situations? i love science, whether it be aquatic science, Biology or space science, or anything related to science. does that make me a good candidate for this major?
Sorry if I'm not understanding you correctly, but are you saying that it's stupid to use OOP in C++ or just learn how to code OOP in C++? If it's the former I'd say you're crazy, if it's the latter I guess I can agree with you on that to a point, but then he'd get into the situation where he's trying to learn two different languages at the same time or he wouldn't learn OOP at all (which I feel is a bad idea, the sooner you understand OOP the easier it gets (well, that's my prof's philosophy)
can i work as communication engineer when i graduate from computer science ???? or i have to study electronics engineering ???? and do the computer science graduates get well paid
I just finished my first year in CS, and I can tell that one thing a computer scientist must be able to do is to sit down and dig deep down into a problem, and try to make it sound as logical as possible. you really gotta dig deep until your brain starts hurting.
Yep. xD

100% true
how is computer science?
like I mean..is it a good course after this u r getting a good job?
bcz I'm interested in cs but i don't have any idea about it.
should i choose computer science? do u have any recommendations for me?
follow your interesents and don't look that much on what economy is looking for
I am so fortunate to have spent time with Prof. Roumani, I graduated in 2015 and am back here to hear him talk. He is a brilliant teacher, makes the subject easy to understand.
I am so glad I took all the courses he taught at York.
Thanks again Professor. You made CS fun.

That is the same thing our Professor told us when we started, "Don't expect to learn how to implement coding, what we focus on in this major is logical problem solving".
The great thing about Computer Science is that it uses logical thinking. And logical thinking is important in all aspects of life.
This is definitely the field for me.
Me too, im 28 and switching career fields and this is where its at
Same here! I'm looking a career where I can use Math and Applied Sciences in any form. My background is in Electronic and Communications Engineering and I'm planning to combine it with an MS in CS to develop business ideas (ECE + CS or EE + CS = awesome combo).
What's up now
@@elherediaenc full meaning of what you are saying pls???
This is absolutely correct, the point of these courses is to train your brain to think in the manner that will make you into a computer scientist.
I have again gained my motivation in Computer sciences. Thank you, man!
Thank you for sharing this. I have bet my future in this field as it is my deepest passion. It's what I've learnt is what I want to do, but a lot of self doubt is imminent to grow from that.

Omg same i cant choose between bio and comp
*accepted, not excepted
That varies by school At mine, you can take an intro to discrete math after taking calc 1. Advanced discrete math, however, does require calc 3.
I've always needed the big picture to understand things and I was till now quite lost. Thanks for that. I really appreciate that.
I got chills watching this. loved it. thank you for advises.
Agreed that has been my experience as well and it can never be a bad thing to learn higher mathematics such as calculus. I believe he is trying to be as general as possible as the fields you can go into are that broad.
Great video and an even greater delivery, Thank you Hamzeh Roumani! I'm now very assured of my decision to major in Computer Science.
Im 17 going onto my senior year in high school & im very forward on pursuing a major in computer science
did you end up pursuing it?

This is one of my professors and he is great.

Morad Shebli same...... I hate irrational thinking and I'm the type of person who likes to get things right and make it make sense ...... It's just satisfying to make the two dots connect and know why they do

love the way the issue of math was explained
Sorry to tell you math is heavy stats for engs., calc all the series, discrete, linear alg, abstract data types shall I go on?
Yeah..
I'm an 18 year old Kenyan planning to do the course,this is encouraging
This was useful..because im not the best at maths, but i have a logical approach at things.
Yes, its definently everywhere and in everything.
I am 17, I believe that the sky is not the limit. I'm in high school, my dream is to change the world(not for self credit).
I hope God help me this course Cs thanks for advice Sir.
hey how are you doing after 6 years?
When he said "We use logic and discrete math, it has nothing to do with calculus" I was so relieved 😅
although you must take Calc I and II as well as Physics I and II w/labs
okay same as me, going to start my freshman and taking CS as major because its my 1st love but I am not that much good in mathematics ..hope we both end in living our dreams . I wish and i really pray we can do it we can do it

Most of the times this happens, is because u are just diving very fast onto something. You should read some docs first, dont underestimate them, its essential, atleast on a basic level.
And when u look for a solution to the errors, try to understand what it does, dont copy paste and hope its fixed forever. If problem still perssists and there are not relative fixes to find, u can always ask a question on stackoverflow or something
thanks! great advice
Im shitty in calculus am I at a disadvantage? Im ok at algebra on the other hand if that makes a difference.
lol thats my professor for one of my courses right now. Just came across this video randomly
Nice video, but do not let this guy fool you in that CS is not math-heavy. Even though most people will not use it, CS programs generally require three calculus classes, differential equations, and linear algebra in addition to the discrete math he mentions. My personal opinion is that they use math as a way of "hazing" students, in other words, even if it is over-kill, they make you do it to prove you are serious (and to not have the rest of the Engineering School make fun of them). Problem with this is that they scare away a lot of people who may not be great mathematicians but could be great computer scientist (read that as women if you want).

Tell me one person who has done MCA and made it big. I bet, u cant. While there are innumerable engineers. And by the way, how old is the MCA course? I mean when was it started?
very helpful, thank you!
I'm going to take a bachelor degree in computer science
what do I need to prepare as a highschool student ?
I have question I am not excellent in math but I really love cs as a major should I choose it
lol corporation if you are very into CS then you should definitely check it out. Because once you enjoy to do something, and have passion for it, then it’s worth it even if you’re not good at it.
It is not a science like physics or chemistry or biology but computing part of logical thinking and basic maths and statistics.

*Cameraman zooms in*
so let's see, I like to think about complex problems and situations?
i love science, whether it be aquatic science, Biology or space science, or anything related to science.
does that make me a good candidate for this major?
What did you decide?
I do know how to write them, but I'm still a newbie
ok thanks for your advice
Really connected myself to cs
RUclips expert!
i have been asking myself about that the first time i saw a calculus exercise
It is really good stream
Sorry if I'm not understanding you correctly, but are you saying that it's stupid to use OOP in C++ or just learn how to code OOP in C++? If it's the former I'd say you're crazy, if it's the latter I guess I can agree with you on that to a point, but then he'd get into the situation where he's trying to learn two different languages at the same time or he wouldn't learn OOP at all (which I feel is a bad idea, the sooner you understand OOP the easier it gets (well, that's my prof's philosophy)
I love this field
I was thinking about going into the CS field, im good in Math, i think logical. So i think I would do good in CS?
can i work as communication engineer when i graduate from computer science ????
or i have to study electronics engineering ????
and do the computer science graduates get well paid
Can I do other jobs than programming with a CS degree ?
