In theory, any programmer worth their salt would already know a massive amount of math (comparatively) and should be readily capable of learning more. If you program without a solid understanding of the underlying math, you're not programming. You're typing until it compiles.
- gydfi 10y agoDisagree. As someone who knows more mathematics and less programming than the average programmer I'd say the average programmer need not know all that much mathematics at all, if they're not working in a particular area that involves mathematics.
- noobiemcfoob 10y agoYou must already know vector math or be capable of learning it in less than a day. If you don't have that aptitude, then I put you at higher in the stack.
- gydfi 10y agoVectors aren't terribly advanced mathematics.
- bitcuration 10y agoYou're joking, right? What math, algebra 2 math?
