Maths major help
Hi guys. I am a foreign applier willing to study maths in uk for bachelor degree. Now I am really busy with further math exams and maths contests. My confusion is that does maths major requires computer science skills? Since I completely do not understand programming. If yes, how should I work through it. Any recommendations?

You don't need computer science. But you'll need to do some coding.
Now some details: "need" simply means "you'll need to do some assignments with code".
I think most maths degrees will "teach" you how to code. I put "teach" in quotations as you wouldn't actually sit down in a lecture to learn how to code - you start coding (and stumble upon errors and more errors) to learn how to code. It's similar to how you don't watch a Youtube video to learn how to ride a bike - you ride a bike to learn how to ride a bike.
The takeaway is to just do it.
