Math is useful to be a good "anybody".
Even if you don't apply math knowledge directly in your profession — this is one of the best way known to humanity of teaching your brain abstract thinking, logic and reasoning.
And CS is the field where those 3 things are the core of profession.
- nsonha 5y agoLogic is essential, (advanced) math is not. Technically logic is a branch of math but do people learn logic from the math that is taught in schools? I dont think so.
- aristofun 5y agoMath itself- not always needed as i said. But learning math (any math) is crucial.
- aristofun 5y agoAnd "street" logic that people pick up from life is much lower quality than logic you get from learning math, philosophy etc. It doesn't mean everyone need math logic to succeed in life, but hi quality logic is critical for CS professions.
- nsonha 5y ago> philosophy that's not math The "logic" that most people use for reasoning comes from philosophy, not formal logic.
