I've got a question for you guys about college...

Okay, knowing that you're currently in pre-calculus actually provides a lot of additional information.

Here's a list of the math courses I'm required to take (in no particular order):

Calc I (Calculus with analytic Geometry)
Calc II
Discrete Math
Linear Algebra
Probability & Statistics (one class)
Calc III

These are just for the CompSci degree. That's like 21 credits or so (since some are 4-credit classes).

That's basically the same course load I have to take sans Cal 3 (thank God). Things to watch out for: many universities have a killer math course designed to weed out students who don't truly love the math. Unfortunately, these tend to be early courses (to catch them early before they're locked in) that are often shared with less math intensive majors. Typically it'll be either Cal 1 or Cal 2. If your advisers tell you to take the math courses somewhere else and transfer the credit over, DO IT! Biggest mistake I ever made was taking Cal 2 at my university instead of the community college; if the advisers tell you not to take a course at their own university it is for a VERY good reason.

Otherwise, the courses aren't too hard. Discrete Math and Linear Algebra are fairly easy, they're basically set theory and matrix operations that form the backbone of modern databases and software engineering. Probability and Statistics is probably one of the hardest courses I've ever taken (I got an A, but it was an engineering course so the teacher was less... psychotic), but it's very regular. You just need to study a lot.

It looks like the only thing you would have to add for a major are the abstract courses. That's not terribly un-doable. Several of the abstract courses can be taken before the computational courses. You don't need probability and statistics to understand Analysis or Abstract algebra. I took the statistics track, so I couldn't take the one term P&S course. I also strongly advise you, if your university will allow it, to take linear algebra before calc 3. The nice thing about math is that if you decide to take a minor, you can easily change your mind a few terms in.

Well, I do believe that linear algebra does come before Calc 3 in my degree plan. Actually, I just checked, and Linear algebra is a "sophomore" level class, whereas Calc 3 is a "junior" level class.
