I'm not sure this is the best forum for this question....

Assuming the US here-
If you are leaning toward Computer Science, get all the Math classes you can at your local community college. Most high schools (near community colleges) have reciprocity agreements with the college to allow HS students to enroll in freshman classes at the college - and receive both HS and college credit. It's a good deal.

If you are elsewhere, I dunno about these kinds of arrangements, but Math is still a great choice for classwork.

       cos
       exp
       hex
       int
       log
       oct
       rand
       sin
       sqrt
       srand

       In addition, if the Math::Trig module can be loaded, the following functions are also available:

       pi
       tan
       csc
       cosec
       sec
       cot
       cotan
       asin

       grad2deg

       If the Math::TrulyRandom module is available, and you've got the time to wait, the "truly_random_number" method is available:

	   [% Math.truly_random_number %]
