    Oh another thing. If you're going to pursue a BA, the choice of schools is also important. Not all schools offer a BA in computer science, and there are also a few out there where the program differences is minimal. A BA may mean taking 1 less math course in some schools so you need to look into carefully.
    Try not.
    Do or do not.
    There is no try.

    You don't even have to worry about the difference between a BS and BA. It seems they have basically combined the two together. I would be interested to see the course descriptions of the math required at Florida Gulf Coast University in the BS in CS degree.

    That seems like a nice school.

    I hope all goes well if you attend that University. Most state schools are actually very nice. I've heard people say bad things about them but I think they are good. Today someone called me "narrow minded" because there is a local college I refuse to go to (I plan on going to RIT which is a tech university in New York or the University of Maine).

    I don't have any muscles.

    I have always loved math. Math follows a given set of rules which makes it easy.

    When learning a new topic like moments of inertia, I find it extremely helpfull to try writing a program to do it faster and easier. In the process you can even learn aspects that aren't specifically covered in your text book. I have even written simple programs on my programmable HP 42s, to make my monotonous calculations go faster.

    umm math doesn't always have to follow a set of rules when you are trying to prove something there isn't a set 'rule' on how to do it, you have to be creative and think of a way to prove the problem
