About the only two things I’d say are required is Boolean logic and grade school arithmetic (eg, computing the right index).
There’s certainly roles that require more — but they’re the minority and you can always be taught on-the-job if it really matters.
- criley2 1y agoI'd say algebra is required, just because that's what introduces variables and functions. If you get into programming without knowing algebra, you'll learn algebra on Day 1 without realizing that's what you're doing.

You only need to understand processes and assignments, neither of which appear in a typical algebra class. You certainly won’t learn how to pass an algebra class about manipulating equalities by programming. [1] — The high school kind.
