Ask HN: What's better: a major in applied math or a major in CS?

I plan to work in the start-up field. My plan is to be able to prototype my own ideas. Hence, it would be good to know how to program. Nonetheless, I would not like to be only and srtrictly a programmer. I would rather be the CEO than the CTO of the company.

Which do you enjoy more, applied math or computer science or something else?

  My favorite subject is mathematical modeling. But that's require a lot of code and I quite enjoy programming.

    My observation is that a person cannot know too much math.

      Interesting. Why you do you think CS is different from Math?
