Programming and Maths

I used to study some programming at home. But when I saw all those numbers I was discouraged. What do you think? If someone hates maths and numbers can learn a programming language?

Try to make peace with the numbers. Eventually you'll get used to. Avoiding the numbers will not solve the problem.

I think that make peace with the numbers is not a thing that people who are not genious are absolutely unable to do. I also hate maths also if I am good!

But what kind of language did you see? I'm sure you just saw binary code programming which is composed by only 1 and 0 but it's machine language. People today use php5, pearl, javascript, html5, c, c++, c#, vb.net but there are not any number inside so you don't need to have good notes on maths. You only need to learn these languages!

I tried several... C++, Python. When I checked the book about C++ and saw those numbers I was scared a bit.

I don't think people hate maths because of the numbers. They just hate the algebraic part of it. Pertaining to programming, even someone from a maths background will get confused doing programming, with the iterations and all. I learned some programming during my undergraduate studies, and the only math involved were iterations, substitution, constants, arrays and some more I couldn't remember, but the ones frequently used are the ones I mentioned.

It really depends on the type of programming you're doing but you know programming is very math-intensive.After all,computers are basically giant calculators.There are some sub-disciplines of computer science that don't require as much math,but there really isn't any way to avoid it completely.

Hello csabaholcz, once the we have established a good skill in programming languages we can have our maths problems solved very easily. Just a substitution of values is required. Once the formula is depicted in the program, w ca calculate them very easily.

I don't know but I like maths. I think if you really want to learn programming, there should not be anything stopping you. I math is there, study that too. It is not hard but we think it is hard. Do it with your heart and I know you will succeed. can you do me a favor? tell me the site where you are learning this programming. I am interested in doing it too. have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing.

Oh sorry... This was past tense. But I used to learn from books and downloaded PDF books.

Perhaps a little knowledge on math will do. Just keep on going because I know everything can be learned if we really wanted to learn such thing. I also want to learn about programming but as of now I am really very busy. There are really things that we should learn that might be of help since we are working online. Good luck csabaholcz. You can do it!
