Math., and Network technology/engineering.

I want to become a network engineer, administrator, or something like that. Something with networks, technology, hardware and software. The university I want to apply to has a great Bachelor in Information Technology program, extra certifcation involved (MCSE, Cisco) and so on.

However...

I hate math. I'm currently taking Calculus and Linear Algebra. Vectors are my enemy.

Does becoming a Network person (sorry for the vagueness) require lots and lots of math? What areas of that field would allow me not to have to use much math?

Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions.

Check out the Calculus notes. Network Engineers will need math and physics to succeed!

hi !!!!!

need not to worry!!!!

nothing is required to become an network engineer rather than a sharp mind ............

Actually the ability to do VLSM is important, and the ability to switch between binary, decimal, and hex. This comes with practice and experience. As far as I can tell there is no advanced math or physics involved in networking, unless maybe your are designing new routers or routing protocols.

Harvi is right.

If you can read and learn, you have the basics.

Rob mentions math things that you must know. But in the real-world, we have calcuators for this sort of thing. You still need to know how to do it the 'long way' so that you fully undersand the concepts. Good luck
