Computer Science School Programming http://eightrocks.blogdrive.com/archive/10.html Thu, 15 Mar 2007 07:13:40 GMT "They can because they think they can." In the journey in our lives, we may encounter different things; some may sound peculiar to us. But as a human being with God-gifted intellectual minds, we have the capacity to understand and learn these new things. I remember when I first enter high school; there are so many subjects new to me or I may familiar with but in different name. Like algebra, Computer Science (Computer only), T.L.E (HELE then), Social Studies (Sibika then), STA and so much more that I couldn't remember. At first, I wasn't able to understand at once the topic like in...

Sci...seems to be a "Real" Math Subject na...yah... i know that this subject is closely related to mathematics..but..during my first two years of taking...Computer Science as a subject..Its like..it deals more about the programs and commands...not the equations and others...you know..a typical Math Lesson... I have realized that in making programs..especially when it is about solving equations like converting fahrenheit to celsius, deg to rad and so on...we also have to memorize such equations too..we should know how to solve the equation...
