Implementing numerical solutions for math concepts can give you insight into the math ex. Newton-Raphson Method or FFT. I would not sell yourself short on being able to understand. You may not be skilled at doing all the symbol manipulation required for what people consider typical "math" but that does not mean you cannot understand it.
- bmitc 4y agoI do agree that programming is very useful as a medium of exploration, a la what you said. I really like how the book Turtle Geometry approaches this. But that is really something different than what the quoted text is attempting to get at. > I would not sell yourself short on being able to understand. I have a master's in mathematics and have continued to take courses while working full-time. It's just that I'm more than aware of the amount of mathematics I do not know compared to an active graduate student in mathematics and above. Or maybe you meant the royal you.
- strangattractor 4y agoI am more a recreational mathematician. There seems to be a lot of unnecessary math phobia lurking about. Simply like to encourage people that sound like they fall into that category - obviously you are not one of them:)
