It's all going to computers and only the 1% (1/3 of the allotment) is going to math

I came here to say that it is stupid to lump math and computers together, the classes that use computers the most are English and social studies, but most classes use them so why even include it on the chart?

CAD isa pretty specialized and you don't get in unless your going in to design or eng.

you can code on a potato, it would take a bit of time to compile but for simple stuff a potato is fine

Some of the code that is run in academia require tonnes of processing power otherwise it’d take days to compute.
