You missed the point. It actually is directly applicable.
The difference with math and programming is that the axioms of a program constantly change. A reassignment, a mutation is an axiom mutated.
Otherwise they are the same.
You could invent a style of programming where all things are immutable. Then that style of programming will be virtually indistinguishable to math. I wonder what I would call such a style of programming?
- jussij 7y agoYou describes how mathematics can be used to create a new programming language/style. The OP describes how using current programming languages requires very little knowledge of mathematics. Both of those perspectives can be true and from my own personal experience the OP's perspective rings true.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoNo my argument is, if you program you are doing math. That's why the techniques from math are applicable to programming. If you know advanced math you can become a better programmer.
