Do you need to be good at mathematics in order to learn programming?

[WhiteHouse]

You don't need to be a mathematician to be acceptable at programming however you need a decent comprehension of fundamental math, explicitly measurements. For instance, there are Python bundles with a few number related capacities like mean, min, max, etc. On the off chance that you have a fundamental comprehension of math, you can create other required number related abilities in transit with training. Zero in on the use of math in projects, get factors, restrictive proclamations and how to deal with exemptions like gap by zero. From a number related class in the event that you know partition by zero, you will deal with it as a special case.

From what I have heard and seen I dont think you have to be a maths genius for you to be able to learn programming and coding. Although you need to know the basics and elementary mathematics. Programming requires a whole lot of skills like a having a passion for solving problems, been comfortable around a computer, the ability to learn concepts and apply them to other problems, good writing and communication skills and other.

You don't need to be extremely good at math before you can learn programming. Infact I know a lot of people who are not over excited when it comes to math and are good at programming. Basically what you need is the right motivation and a good teacher.

 

[Hasan Raza]

Basically the computer understand only binary language which is also called machine language. But now the programming is too much easy than olden days. Mathematics is very helpful thing but it's not necessary to be good in mathematics.

 

[MastetG]

Math and programming are very closely related as math is really the universal language between humans and computers. You do not need to know a lot of math for high levelprogramming as a lot of that is behind the scenes, but it will aid in comprehension for a lot of more advanced programming concepts

The language you are learning in determines. But in essence, being good at mathematics is not a yardstick to be the best programmers. It is only to aid the rate at which you think. As we know that mathematicians think faster and accurately.

 

[Nurudeen]

Knowing mathematics is not a prerequisite for a newbie to learn programming or coding. You can be from a social science department and learn programming successfully. I have more than 3 friends who doesn't know mathematics are all doing well in coding.

 

[Doradorwa]

I don't think that's necessary for you to know maths before learning programming... But it's necessary for you to know basics of it...it's just like how it's not necessary for you to be a computer scientist before you can code tho a little computer knowledge is needed.

 

[giddy]

To be good in programming you need mathematics
But when you're a programmer or a problem solver you need the mathematics most. Because math simply make a person more logical, creative and intelligence. To be abetter programmer one must know at least a very little of Discrete Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Calculus, Probability, Cryptography, Geometry and Statistics.

 

[Alexandoy]

Programming is mostly logic because you are creating the flow of instructions. It is like doing the layout of a street map where the vehicle will be crossing. There are intersections called "decision point" where the flow can be left or right or even straight. I have been a programmer for mainframe before with 2 languages - COBOL and IBM Assembler (not Assembly, that is for the small computer). You can be a good programmer even if you are not good in math.

 

[Sehrish]

I think it depends on what type of programming you want to do. As far as being a programmer in the business world goes, I would say that the answer is no. You can become a great programmer without knowing advanced mathematics. When you do end up having to deal with math, the formulas are usually defined in the business requirements so it only becomes a matter of implementing them in code.

If you want to become a low-level programmer or say create 3D graphics engines, mathematics will play a huge role.

 

[Tariq Shehzad]

Lots of people say you need to be very good at mathematics in order to be also good at programming? Is that completely true or just partially? Obviously you need to know some basics of mathematics at least but do you need to be very good at math?

Definitely, you should be familiar with the basic principles of mathematics to be more experts in programming language.
Because there are many algorithms used in programming which bases on mathematics.

I am doing bachelors in computer science , you don't need to be best in maths . But what you need to consider is in order to master it you need practice it a lot just like to master mathematics.

What they teach in schools and universities is no where comparable to real life practice and/or inventing your own workplace , computer science came out of Mathematics therefore it is a necessity to master mathematics logic beforehand , today's developers give no attention to such thing and thats why there aren't really many that invent something new, if you have no foundation, you'll end up using other's work , and even so , some works require some good math structure to begin with.

 

[Sammyesx]

Being good in maths will be an advantage, You will definitely need some basic maths concept just like every science related field but you don't necessarily need to be a maths guru and it also depends on the programing language you intend to learn.

 

[adazeez1995]

Obviously, you don't have to be a maths genius be for e you become a programmer, else there will be hardly anyone in that field. I wont say I such at maths. But for most parts, I get away with logic and basic algebra. If you are not developing games or maths oriented apps, you shouldn't have problems with maths.
Maths is cool though,once you understand it intuitively

 

[Adebayonle7]

Since programming normally requires that you are smart and intelligent with a sharp and calculative mind which can think out of the box and develop ideas and make things work out of nothing. While I do not think knowing or being good with mathematics determines if you will know programming or not, I think it will be an additional asset and help the individual be more calculative and think critically.

You do not need to know a lot of math for high level programming as a lot of that is behind the scenes, but it will aid in comprehension for a lot of more advanced programming concepts. If you plan to do more low level programming (systems or device programming), then you will need to know a lot more math.

 

[Abbas ali]

You need be at least average in mathematics. There’re some symbols in basic programming which are mathematical symbols. You need to know what they means and when to use them. Also you need to have knowledge of calculus(differential equations and integral

 

[Dowenship]

Lots of people say you need to be very good at mathematics in order to be also good at programming? Is that completely true or just partially? Obviously you need to know some basics of mathematics at least but do you need to be very good at math?

Well very good to me seems like a perfect mathematician, but if that's the case I'm not sure that's necessary but u must good, I mean good so ur coding will perfectly match your result, do consider knowing maths very well but not necessarily a guru
