Major ideas for a gamer

[madnak]

Math math math math. Game theory obviously, also combinatorics, probability, number theory, discrete math, financial math (much more applicable than you might think). Computer science isn't a bad major, especially if you ever want to make games. You might even take some design/engineering classes if that's what you're going for, but it doesn't sound like it.

<--- good at math. Suck at writing.

I'm in the same boat as the OP, but the problem is I do not like math. I took 2 years of calculus in high school (2 semester college equivialnt) did not do homework/study or enjoy it, took the AP test (got a 5). I want to take courses in probability, but the classes whose course descriptions seem interesting require 3rd semester calculus, which I do not want to take. I will be taking game theory next semester, and I hope that will be enjoyable.
While in high school jr and sr year I traveled to the university in town and took two 300 level computer science classes, did not enjoy either of those really, so I doubt that is going to be viable for me.
Anybody have advice regarding possibilities inline with with the OP suggested without being math intensive?

game theory isn't really math incetive per se. you will however need to be faily decent at math to do anything that involves interesting games.
