    Hi, just wondering what kind of maths exactly is involved in CS? I'm pretty confident with maths but am just wondering what type of maths is it mainly based on? I've heard Calculus is a part of it and Matrices? Is that true? :)

    For second year, you should be able to look at the course here.

    Third year has a new Computational Mathematics course, which is mostly about different areas of numerical analysis, error analysis etc.
