The question of “do you need math for programming” is a particularly interesting one.

DESCRIPTION
On one hand, it is true that for 90% of a programmer’s job, you’re not going to be using any mathematics at all beyond basic arithmetic. But on the other hand, many people rightly point out that programming is simply a subset of computer science, which itself is a subset of mathematics. So how could it possibly be that math is not needed for programming?

I understand both arguments. I believe both of them are right, so in this video, I will give my best shot at reconciling them. My conclusion is that while in many applications of programming you won’t need that much math, you should still learn it.

But more important than that conclusion is how I get there. At the end, I also give my recommendation on a free resource to teach you all the math you need for computer science.

Asking “Do you need math for programming?” doesn’t really make sense as a question without some context. It all depends on what you want to create. If all you want to make is a simple website with HTML, CSS and Javascript, you won’t need to know a single thing about matrix algebra or how to find a topological sort of a finite directed acyclic graph.
So if you know for a fact that you’ll only be performing simple tasks like that in your career, there you go. You probably won’t need to know any advanced math.

But I will argue that even if that is the case, you should probably still learn some maths that is used in computer science & I will give 4 concrete reasons why.

WHO AM I?
This channel documents my life as a SelfTaught Software Engineer as well as my journey teaching myself Computer Science & Programming. When I graduated from university in July 2021, I was still completely lost as to what I really wanted to do. I always had an interest in technology, so I decided to start learning how to code with zero experience, and it quickly became my passion. After just 4 months of learning programming on my own, I had a job offer, and I will begin my career as a software engineer in September 2022.
