Truth be told, there isn't a lot of mathematics used in general programming. It's mostly logic and some arithmetic. If you work on some problem that is in the maths domain then you need to know that your code is doing the right thing in the problem domain, so you should understand the maths. If you haven't programmed before then you need to get started. Any mainstream language would do, really, but you want one that is easy to learn but doesn't limit you when you get more advanced. Remember that your first language is just your first, you will probably change to another later. What you are really learning, besides the language, is how to solve problems with a computer. That's why your first language is harder to learn than your second - the problem solving skills from your first language transfer, mostly, to your second language. I'm going to suggest you start learning python. It's a relatively simple language with powerful libraries such as numpy and sympy you an use once you have the basics down. The /r/learnpython subreddit is very helpful for beginners to ask questions. The subreddit wiki has learning resources for beginner and intermediate python users: https://old.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/index#wiki_new_to_programming.3F https://old.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/index#wiki_new_to_... Once you have learned a bit start a project of any type. You learn a computer language just like a human language, you must use it.
