Hello,

I think C++ is easier than calculus. Calc has to deal with infinite numbers, and often memorization of integration rules and trig functions and infinity. I know I was never very good at it. I think my "sane math skills" stopped at trig and geometry... stuff used to build a house and measure angles and that sort of thing.

C++ allows you to make your computer due things. Read the data on a parallel port. Automate something. Especially when you develop on Linux, you can use C++ and powerful scripting languages to really make a bang of your situation.
