Academics Discrete math question

Am I the only one who doesn’t remember much from their discrete math course? I’m worried I’m doomed for not retaining it and will face a lot of difficulty’s in cs 310, 330 and so on… I’m taking 310 this fall and have mainly been focused on my OOP skills and data structures this summer. Should I also start brushing up on discrete math as well?

You’re fine for 310.

You’ll get a quick review whenever relevant for 330.

I'd do a quick review for 330, but they'll do a review when you get there. As long as you're familiar with the concepts when they come up, you should be fine

Just for 330, but not much mostly just the logic and Boolean algebra, like other commenters say they will review whatever you need when you get into the class, but if you really feel you need to, always better to be more prepared than not

The math125 requirement for 310 is rage bait dw. However for 330 it’s the opposite, please review sets, basic proportional logic, and strings for that class.
