I just failed precalculus, but I've aced my programming classes.

Is it worth switching majors? I've been programming forever, but the math simply too hard and not interesting enough.

The concept of majors and minors in undergrad school does not exist here in Brazil. However, I only imagine myself as a Software Engineer in the future and CS is the only course I can do. So I basically have no choice, I'll have to become very good at Math. I will succeed. I better do.

In my experience, the math courses tend to get easier later on for a variety of reasons:

1) You learn simplifying techniques. (you'll learn to love the Laplace transform)

2) You get better at studying. I also failed my first (and second) calculus course. It took me an embarrassingly long time to learn how to study. (Tip: Find a friend to study with!)

3) You'll eventually start applying it to interesting problems. I found control theory really interesting, so it became a lot easier to care about the math involved.

Thanks for sharing your experience and a tip man.
