There's a good chance your course will have a strong focus on Electronics as well, and for that you'd need those Math skills. For your interests, a specialized Software Engineering course sounds more interesting. Or even Computer Science. I should know, I've studied Computer Engineering.

I'll keep that in mind. :) The problem for me as far as software engineering courses go is that where I live, it isn't commonly offered.

Haha, youth. It's best that you don't know, but just keep on learning as you go. A critical thinker/problem solver that only speaks English won't be able to solve a problem in Swahili. The same goes for mathematics. Good luck to you.

Haha, thank you. :) I'll definitely be sharpening my skills as I go.

My Software Engineering degree required both Pre-Calculus and Calculus. A lot of the practice programs that you will do in school will also be math based. Like the others have said, it's not all math, but it is necessary. The creative problems solving part is extremely important.

Electrical engineering requires 2 years calculus and some quantum physics. EE's do a lot of integral calculus and many equations are multi-variable so several iterations are required to solve the math problems such as the convolution equation. They also need to be good at computer programming. Unless you got A's in math in high school your not going to do well in computer engineering or software engineering. I would be a computer programmer or software designer.

Here list of subject for what i learn to finish my electronics engineering degree . It might be useful for you. Computer Engineering subject list

In Computer Engineering, yes. In Software Engineering? Not so much. The hardest maths/algebra subjects are the application ones: namely Physics, Electric Circuits and Electronic Circuits, and at least the SE course I'm looking for doesn't have those three.

The field I want to go into most later in life is computer and software engineering. I love computers and finding what makes them work; I also love video gaming and I have began to make a few simple ones of my own.
But to the point, how much algebra and general math is involved in the field? My skills are not terrible, but I'm not the sharpest when it comes to it. I guess the creative side of my brain is a little speedier than the logical side when it comes to mathematics. :P I have heard it is more so based in critical thinking and problem solving, but I was wondering if someone in the career could help answer this question.
Thanks in advance! :)
EDIT: I am currently a high school junior, beginning my course in Pre-Calculus, maintaining an average around 90%. In past years, I did somewhat worse in my mathematics courses. I will be taking a full course of Calculus 1 prior to beginning College.
