       arguably, taking all these algebra classes has made me a somewhat better programmerbut like minimallysuper-complex math is rarely used, and I never had to touch Math.sin() ever

       @soka most of the math in computer science seems ridiculous to me tbh

       @sokaJust don't try any graphics programming expecially 3D.

       @soka I love math but tbh most of the practically useful math for programming is contained in a “discrete structures” course or two, mostly boolean logic, counting (combinations & permutations), discrete probability, summations, etc. Other kinds of math are mostly useful only in specific scenarios (i.e. if you’re making a physics engine, or doing data science, etc.), or if you’re doing computer science “proper” which really is just math, doesn’t even require programming.

       @soka Idk that I’d say any math course has made me a better programmer, but I do think there’s a significant overlap in the “intuition” of both of them, which explains why I like and can do both of them pretty well.
