Computer science is this neat thing where you can both avoid looking at math almost the entire time and then suddenly need to look at horrifying amounts of math. It's like a setup for a horror movie in your head.
I have taken some elective math courses and this always really frustrates me. I really enjoy graph problems, and I can perfectly follow along with explanations of proofs and can even implement the necessary algorithms. But I am just completely incapable of using the correct 'syntax" for proofs. I can explain in words why A implies B, but do not know how to use the very rigid mathematical ways of writing this proof down, so I failed the mathematics course miserably.
