I usually do programming under water, so nobody can see me cry
Took a bunch of classes like linear algebra, discrete mathematics, mathematic analysis etc... problem is when you need it 3 years later you've forgotten it.
A difference between a great programmer and a average programmer is the ability to know what to google exactly Edit: I get it, now we have chat gpt, claud...etc i was just joking about the google thing we need to be good at prompting now ig😁😁😁 Omg! This is my most liked comment. Thanks guys!!!.
I’m so thankful for all the geniuses that had to grind in math and machine code to make programming languages like JavaScript and Python
My Dad did this once. He was yelling so I came downstairs to make sure no one was spontaneously impaled. Found out my Dad made a spinning cube and pyramid. Found out he spent a large amount of time on it. Then I decided to go for Liberal Arts. (jk i’m in mech e now)
My degree is in mathematics. My career was in software engineering. My concentration was man-machine interface design. The most math I ever used on the job was simple arithmetic. Whether or not you NEED math most definitely depends on WHAT you're programming the computer to do.
"Math is what separates a great programmer from an average programmer" I'm not a programmer and I hate math, so I guess it's a win-win situation?
As a computer scientist in the private sector I still use math a lot. Granted I don't get to use Abstract Algebra or Trigonometry much anymore, but the things I usually find myself doing is figuring out what growth function best fits data. But a lot of times when I am doing my hobby of game design, I will use all of it. I think anyone can find a use for even Algebra in their day to day life.
honestly making a donut in terminal is pretty dope
Me: Trying to learn programming Youtube: Recommends this "I'mma pretend I didn't see that"
the more trending question will be : why you need chemistry for engineering
It's the mathematical intuition that really give you the power. Seeing the patterns of nested loops for example could be difficult for people who have low intuition of deductive logic or set theory. Sounds easy from the beginning but once you are own your own sometimes you get logical errors. Also for other control or complicated structures. It is really the intuition that helps.
Mad respect to the guy who went from the equation of a circle to a donut in 2D on terminal. I mean the math is straightforward, but it's hella creative to put it all together.
This perfectly expresses the misunderstanding that consumers of software have now about how much effort it actually takes to do something. huge pain when I try to show my friends something I made that I find cool and they don't understand whats so cool about it.
As a physics student with a background in programming, as soon as I saw the donut, I gasped
Teacher: Why are you studying so hard on math? Him: I want to make a spinning donut
shows the donut "It's incredible, isn't it?!" Me, a beginner developer: FUCK YEAH IT IS
For those who still doubt math, I think instead of framing it like "why would I want to do that?" a better way of thinking about it is: "If I was asked to do that, would I know how?" Transformation matrices and coordinate math is the real deal.
