Is a university required for Computer/Software engineering?

[kadd]

I can't do maths (I got 0 in maths even in primary school) but I want to be a computer engineer, I want to work abroad in a different country by doing a bachelor's degree and then a master's degree.
-
Do you think I should change my career orientation or should I try different paths in maths? (I did nothing for 4 years in high school)
-
What should I do if I am going to study computer engineering or other numerical fields (physics, biology, etc.)?
-
In addition, I want to prepare early for calculus mathematics, from which sources should I work for this and how is the difficulty of the exam? (I have not learned integral, derivative, trigonometry, etc.).
(yes I have a bad expression style).

Some common math courses you may have to take include

• Calculus I, II, and III
• Differential equations
• Linear algebra
• Probability and statistics
• Discrete structures

Our Moderator @KGIII is very good with math. See what he has to say.

It is one of those things where I have to answer, "It depends."

Programming may or may not require math - and may require advanced mathematics if you're working on stuff like AI or the like.

However, higher-level programming may not require much math at all.

What it WILL require, at least to do it and to do it well, is logic. Mathematics is used to evaluate logical statements. Like turtles, math is logicism all the way down...

So, you'll need a logical brain if you want to be a good programmer.

I would have to say you WILL NEED MATH. I do alot of programming and I will say that you need both logic and math. There is some stuff you can do without much math but it is not much.
I would change career goals if I were you. if you try to get a degree in CS then you will as mentioned above need calculus 1&2, which has prerequisites of Trigonometry, Geometry, and algebra. That means since you did nothing you will be taking 3 to 4 years of prerequisite math before you even get to your requirements. Then you have the couple years of required math. Your bachelor degree will take you 6 or more years.
Although there are people that just pick up programming on their own, some are good, many are not. If you skip the college you miss things like "fault tolerance" and basics of programming concepts that really help you along.

ultimately the choice is yours but know what you are getting into.
