Yes, yes, yes. Discrete math is useful every single day as a programmer, unless you see absolutely no need to ever think about what's happening under the hood.

Yes, yes, yes. Discrete math is useful every single day as a programmer, unless you see absolutely no need to ever think about what's happening under the hood. Sets, combinatorics, matrices, and on and on. Everything I learned in my "discrete computational structures" course is directly applicable in my day-to-day programming life.
- dnissley 15y agoCould you recommend a book or an online course? Or anything really? As more of a self-taught programmer, I'd love to be more acquainted with the mathematics that go along with computer science, but I'm really not sure where to start. I've been waiting for khan academy's offering on the subject but it's been years and it seems like they'll never get around to it.
- oskarkv 15y agoI think this book is very good. Lots of exercises and very clear. http://www.amazon.com/Discrete-Mathematics-Norman-L-Biggs/dp/0198507178 http://www.amazon.com/Discrete-Mathematics-Norman-L-Biggs/dp...
