Interesting idea of trying to force math into your everyday life. Since college, the highest level of math I've used is geometry and trigonometry, but none of it was for programming. It's only been useful a few building projects around the house.
- moron4hire 17y agoI routinely use discrete math in "everyday, consultingware". Computer Science, and by extension programming, is fundamentally a study of discrete math. Linear algebra is another field that I use a LOT, and not just in graphics systems. If you think math isn't useful for programming, it's because you don't know enough math. I'm with the OP on this one, I wish I knew more math. I'm certain it would make me a more efficient programmer.
