My impression of computer systems engineering is that it's half software and half electrical.

The calculus involved in higher level electeng can be fairly advanced from what I've heard, but as a software engineer, the requirement for calculus in my life basically dropped off after my general eng. year.

Software engineers have much more use for discrete mathematics than calculus... linear algebra, formal logic, algorithmics, statistics, graph theory, enumeration, proofs and pure maths in general are all useful.


So I would guess that computer engineers get the best of both worlds. For me, pure maths >>> calculus >>>>>>>>>>>>>> stats.
