What major should I go into to learn the most about software and its functionality with as little math as possible /u/RealChet320 CSCQ protests reddit

I am someone that has taught themself quite a bit already through curiosity in game hacking, and have done quite a bit as well. But it is like filling in gaps of information piece by piece with it all being scattered. I am really just looking for a structure to connect them all. I already was planning to go into computer science after my first degree (multimedia and design) and hopefully later pursue game design or development, potentially even a little software engineering, which is the degree I was kinda looking at already.

I already know C++, enough assembly to make and edit scripts (but definitely want to learn more), some python/html , and am now learning LUA over this winter break, so really I just want to know where I should go next after I finish my degree (next fall) and what I should go into to really have a better understanding of software that will ultimately translate to game hacking, development, and design.

I have never really gone into many upper level math classes or much past my 2nd course in calculus and statistics, but feel I get by just fine in coding with having a solid understanding of the basics of math and doing any more than that is pointless. Do you think knowing more math has helped you through your major or career and would you advise me trying to take them as well as is it even possible to not do a bunch of math classes while pursuing a degree in computer science as it is essentially the second part of computer science. I also feel it is worth mentioning that I am not bad at math in any way and received A’s in all my lower division classes through college but just feel it is so tedious and to learn any more really will not benefit me as coding at the end of the day, at least for me and what I do, has not required me to know a bunch of complex formulas that a quick google search or ChatGPT robot can spit out and help me understand for whatever situation I made need it for. Please feel free to offer more insight though and change my mind, that’s ultimately what I am hoping for asking this as well too.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you for your time!
