Shut the fuck up and get off my board

You have to be good at logic to be a good programmer.

There are no "logic" courses in high school, but math is rich in it, so if you are good in math, you should be good in programming.

Yes you do.

Not necessarily, but also

No, only if you're using APL

Yes to a certain extent is needed. Also as stated. You have to be good at logic and analytic. One way to improve both is by working with math.

You don't need math to be a programmer but you sure as hell need it to be a good one.

i want to fug that nugget

Math is broad topic
skills you should have
> logic for if (a & b || c) then ... else ...
> simple arithmetic for memory e.g. one use object uses 15KiB of RAM, how many users can my 2 GB server handle?
> combinatorics for runtime estimations e.g. if you want find the optimal soccer pairing of 10 teams so that each team plays against every other team and at least once in their home stadium and once somewhere else and they only play once a week. How many possibilities do you have to check to find a schedule that says which team plays against which other team at what place in what week.

that's for basics

for more advanced stuff where you would need statistics for proving that A is faster than B you need calculus

and stay away from functional programing
that shit is sweet and delicious but nothing for, just keep on eating shit
