No worries, as a self proclaimed youngster I didn't manage to understand Fourier in 2 days and never bothered again. Also had no other prior knowledge to algebra so maybe that's why I struggled. Never perceived algebra as useful in anything programming related, will continue to do so as most problems are solvable without it. I'll let the degree havers do all that stuff.
- hnuser123456 1y agoSo you're a programmer but you've never assigned a number to a variable or written any math operations? Do you just do string translations or something?
- zwnow 1y agoI'm talking algebra you need a degree for. Well algebra u learn while getting one that is.

- perching_aix 1y agoYou might find LLMs to be a useful crutch for this to an extent, although it's very easy to take the wrong turn and go off into the deep end. But as long as you keep forcefully connecting it back to practical reality, you can get progress out of it. And of course, never actually make it calculate.
- Sharlin 1y ago> Never perceived algebra as useful in anything programming related Image, video, and audio processing and synthesis, compression algorithms, 2D and 3D graphics and geometry, physics simulation, not to mention the entire current AI boom that's nothing but linear algebra… yeah, definitely algebra isn't useful in anything programming related.
