Nah I'm a softeng major but I'm required to do a few computer systems papers. I've heard that the maths in electeng (and comp e) is quite hard and I think it would probably involve a lot of Fourier analysis for signal processing.
Software engineering has very little use for calculus (I pretty much left it behind after my general first year). Instead it relies on pure maths, linear algebra, logic, algorithmics, graph theory and statistics. I'm not really liking the stats I've done so far, but I think it becomes more interesting when mixed with other fields (i.e. combinatorics and stochastics). I am wishing I'd chosen a double major with maths though.
