What kind of advanced math do you need for programming again?

What kind of advanced math do you need for programming again?

Holy fuck, never realized are so similar to Fourier Series.

For _programming_, just some simple logic and some understanding of algorithms and complexity.

For software development, it depends on the software.

epicycles are so similar to Fourier series*

it entirely depends on the software, but at a minimum, I would say you should know linear math and statistics.

For programming in itself not really anything beyond basic shit.

For many fields however you need some more or less advanced stuff, i.e. some calculus and preferably function theory for signal processing, lots and lots of linear algebra for graphical stuff, discrete math for pretty much everything etc.

Bottom line really is: Unless you really want to stay an easily replaceable code monkey you should know your math to actually develop stuff that matters. Otherwise you will always just implement stuff people did before you, exactly the way people did before you.

what math do I need for webdev?

None

well shit. If you wanna make some dank software synths, be my guest.

None.

Just some calculus, discrete math and linear algebra, if you want to actually have a clue they should be enough, or simply

What exactly is discrete math used for? Algorithm development?

The real question would be what's discrete math, niggas.

It's a field of math that involves set theory, logic, graph theory, decision theory, number theory, etc.

It's gay nerd shit but it's pretty crucial for problem solving

Most data structures can also be abstracted as discrete mathematical objects. Understanding those can help you tremendously in implementing them efficiently, simply by knowing exactly what the hell you are doing (i.e. (binary) trees, graphs)

Algebra. That's really it.

You just need advanced meth m8

You're in luck, basic arethmetic is all you need to calculate how many dicks you have to suck per day

Depends. You don't need to be a mathematician to be good at programming, but it does help.

Nonsense.

Literally no one needs those fancy math things. Only those normies at the hardware engineerings use them.

What's nonsense about that? None of the programmers I know know anything beyond some basic shit like algebra and calculus. Programmers are not mathematicians, and anybody who thinks they are is misinformed.

good answer.

It's hard to say. You need a certain logical mind to understand mathematics, but you don't necessarily need math to learn programming. Programming is more about logic gates than math on the basic level.

A program is a series of conditional executions from one to the other. One can say a program is also a series of mathematical calculations. A state change must deal with math on some level at some point. But writing

void main() {
cout

the but it helps part. programming has almost nothing to do with mathematics. not even functional programming which is often memed up to be programming for mathematicians.
