2+2 is 4
4+4 is 8
that's two quick maths

You're locked out of some areas but fine in others. Go learn math anyway, you can do it on your own pretty easily.

sucking at maths means sucking at logic.
so yea.
you're fucked.

Almost everyone sucks at math here

Thanks, I was thinking of doing that yeah.

I'm good at logic and I'm good at programming (in what I've used and practiced.)
I haven't needed to apply Maths noticeably in anything I've worked on so far.

Math is useless for webdev, most corporate software and computer networking (I mean serious math), you'll be fine for those areas.

You are fucked if you want to get into CS, Electronics or Telecommunications.

Just go into Webdev, or Software Testing. You'll be fine. Just learn to get comfy with Indians.

If you aren't doing data science or some kind of scientific computing you should be good.

That is 100% dependent on which sector of the industry you are looking into

Become an autist you artist

Based on aptitude tests, I'm moderately good at math and I have no problem using existing machine learning tools. I even wrote my own neural network with particle swarm optimization instead of backpropagation as the learning method. (PSO is superior.) I'd be absolute shit at doing research in this field though.

One other thing: people with superior mathematical ability:

a) Aren't necessarily good at programming and
b) Aren't necessarily good at thinking rationally in a broader sense

If you are --or can become-- nonwhite, female, gay, trans, etc., you don't need it.

this guys clearly never studied logic.

OP it is possible to program and to be excellent with logic without actually knowing much beyond the basics of mathematics. Algorithms are not mathematical equations. They are instructions to a computer that will perform a task. That may involve the computer performing some mathematical wizardry but mainly it involves creating processes that can be repeated (no maths required). Logic is simply a relationship between one state of being and another state of being within a timeline. for example if x then do something, if y do something else. I know excellent well respected programmers who wouldnt know one end of a mathematical equation from the other and they are very well paid. When or if they need some professor of maths to write some groundbreaking program to compute some theoretical mathematical proof I suppose they would hire one

Is transracialism accepted in silicon valley? I don't care about being white, I'll do whatever if it gets me a high-salaried job at jewgle

nah i had to retake both calc 1 and calc 2, I'm doing fine

confused redneck with one muslim parent detected

100% this. Computer Science =/= Math
Computer science is about computation not mathematics, math is a tool in computer science, with the computation being the end goal, not the other way around.

Reminder that all silicon valley companies employ tactics like this, youtube was just the only company dumb enough to get caught

No I failed maths and work in IT I make 50k aid per year before tax

What if I'm a white male, but a cripple? Asking for a friend...

You can do cybersecurity or IT

You don't need math past a high school level while programming anything.
That being said, don't bother trying to make your own 3D engine, image/video editor or crypto cipher though.

Just learn data structures and time/ space complexities and keep using any tools that make you life easier when the project requires them. Not all tools document themselves well, so knowing what goes on down at the OS level is good for working up from if and when something goes wrong.

If you want to do hardware, you should learn math.

>You don't need math past a high school level while programming anything.

For probably most things this is true. "Anything" is a huge stretch though.

>You don't need math past a high school
Does that mean trig or algebra II

If you can't hack these subjects your work is probably cut out for you

What sort of maths should I learn for AI and pathfinding?

These meme cartoons with shooting their shotguns into their heads was just imitated by an /r9k/ attention seeker.

It's mostly fucking boolean logic.A nigger could learn it in a day.

shootguns are deadly and should be banned

Get an interest in math
Then practice
Watch numberphile videos. They will trigger your autism

Classical algorithms for searching in graphs (mathematical terminology for "networks" and in this case most typically trees) are detailed very well in Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach

You can find it on LibGen

You are deeply overrating niggers

Thankyou muchly user!

...

calculus and algebra

Pathfinding is mostly discrete math

No problem; I'm glad I could help

user I suck(ed) at math too but you can do it. Anyone can, the question isn't whether someone can or cannot learn, its the pace and effort in which they learn.

Pardon the retard question, I see CS getting thrown around here...i was under the impression CS is programming? If thats not the case, what does CS mean/do?

>can't click the first wikipedia link that comes up in search
Animetard. CS is computer science, programming is only a small subset of that

Yeah. You'll never truly be on the forefront of evolving and emerging tech. Trust me, people who do math and can actually write code have MUCH higher status than people who understand the tech, and can maybe follow analytics for their company or something

t.person who is also shit at maths but really likes technology

It feels bad man

Computer science is a more abstract subject than programming per se. As far as academic disciplines are concerned, software engineering is a much closer match to programming in practice.

As the late Edsger Dijkstra put it: "Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."

[spoiler]i tried and still don't understand what they do...[/spoiler]

Physics is to engineering
what CS is to programming.
