If you want to be just another programmer, then you don't need that much
of math, otherwise, yes math is important.

I disagree with the statement that CS don't need math, but I think CS
courses do not help students much in their future career because they are
teaching it in the wrong (traditional) way.
First of all, I think programming skill should be the foundation before
entering CS. Everyone must have at
Becareful with that, in Malaysia programming will not be introduced until
you go college/university(got a feeling it is the same for other country),
it is not even teached fully in form 6, if at all. So even we know
programming, we need a cert, in comes the question by who, what syllabus
etc.
Precisely my point
While programming is mostly logics, which in turn is a branch of maths,
which in turn covered like in one class(?). But how about advance maths. do
we use calculus that much. unless we write game, or image processing. Most
of the apps, business apps is more of a get from
Then, comes another question, who here is actually solving the hard problem
in CS that actually require advance maths.
1) Many bro many. Many of these people are just being low profile.
2) Math is important more than to solve hard problems. A good understanding
of math helps you to solve
My answer is simple:
If you want to do the same thing that every bloody one is doing then you do
not need math,
If you want to do something no one else has done before, then, hell yes you
need math

based on this article. Actually I kinda agree with the author. It depends on
the goal, if aim for research YES, if for industry, maybe no

We really need math in CS. They way Computer engineers and software
developers think are like mathematician. All are numbers.
We codes in 1 and 0. if then else. all can be calculate and formula
can be created.
and one thing.
Computer programming is an art :)

I'm not formally trained on CS. All my programming knowledge is self taught.
So this is my opinion.
Programming is not solely an art. It's both art and science. I experienced
countless of times where knowing maths would be extremely useful. While it's
true that you can program something without

IMHO,without math,programming cant go to the next
part.if,else,while,and most of the programming part is derived from
math.and we actually
