Interesting. Ultimately just one person's opinion. I don't use any college math (since I didn't take any) and dont't find a need for it in most programming. In fact, programming is a lot more like writing. Maybe that's why they call it a programming language. Too bad when I was doing programming using more interesting math, more interesting math was not taught in school (US 7th grade and on)

"I don't use any college math (since I didn't take any)" How do you know? It is not impossible to pick up (some of) that knowledge outside of college. "Maybe that's why they call it a programming language" Maybe, but it could also be because of the abstract concept 'language' as used in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_language

You don't seen to have gotten the point, which is that you use abstraction heavily when programming, and your abstraction skills are the expected and only result of your math lessons.
