I'll be heading off to university next week to start a computer science degree course and since i'm not going straight after finishing school (i worked for 3 years afterwards) i've forgotten a lot of the math that we were taught. I have been teaching myself bits of theory about lots of areas of computers (programming, web design, scripting, genetic algorithms, design patterns, compilers, DBs etc) in my spare time but i havent had the opportunity or the reasons to keep my mathematics skills in good form.
I was just wondering if any of you could give me some tips about what kind of mathematics i should brush up on to make it easier for me in uni. Things i'm looking for are areas of mathematics (trig, calculus etc) and how advanced my knowledge of them should be. Some examples of how they fit into computer science would be great too.
I've always hated being second best so any tips for excelling in this area and graduate with flying colours would be amazing too
