  • we need math in programming because math is the best language for describing the universe…
    you don’t really need much to do a lot of stuff, but it’s a very math like thing… the computer was invented as a general purpose math machine, programming languages are rather similar to math… variables, functions, etc….
    imo they make students take way too much math and it ends up being “just prove that you could do this, not that you’ll need to”.
    like, “multivariable calculus with analytic geometry” isn’t needed for anything unless you’re doing scientific work….
