What is a variable? function? you might be astonished at how many lawyers don't even understand what true and false mean. I guess some programmers use algebra so much that they forget they are using algebra and consider it just writing. (You don't need to know how to move your legs man! All you got to do is walk.)
- Sirenos 13y agoI don't see the point. Do lawyers need to know such things to perform well in their careers? Specialization is prevalent for a reason - it has given us modern civilization and all the fancy technology that comes with it - but there is such a thing as hubris, and I don't think condescension towards those not well versed in the tools of one's craft can be considered a good thing.
- cschmidt 13y agoI think he was trying to say that programmers do use some math concepts even when they might not think of it that way. Lawyers or other non-programmers (rightfully) don't know about mathematical concepts that programmers just take for granted, given their background.
