I would suggest studying mathematics as well, but not for this reason. If you're already coding, you won't get much from a CS education you can't pick up on your own. Studying mathematics gives you the background to see more deeply into CS, and other fields. In the US system, if you major in mathematics and minor in CS, I think that's a much more fruitful path, especially if you're interested in continueing on to grad school.
- jfaucett 9y agoI would agree except I think studying physics is perhaps even better than math because it lets you get more practice modeling real-world scenarios and math gets more abstract and less relevant to CS at the later levels. But studying CS itself is something I would not recommend for those who know how to code already.
