Best Answer

Programming can apply a wide variety of branches of mathematics. Geometry, trigonometry, calculus, algebra etc. Computer science and math go hand in hand.

+++

The actual computing at circuit level relies on binary and hexadecimal arithmetic, and Boolean Logic. Certain applications including I think graphics programming handle huge matrices for co-ordinate plotting etc.

Does programming consist of a lot of math?

Usually not much, but you use many of the same abilities that you use when solving math problems.


Why is it that programming is harder than math?

That's not necessarily true at all. It depends on the individual person. Some people find programming harder than math. Some people find math harder than programming. Some people find both programming and math to be pieces o' cake. Some people are afraid of both programming and math, and so they find both to be hard. And some people have no idea what programming or math is.


Do I need to be really good a math to figure out computer programming?

It helps to have a basic math education. Most programming does not require using math at all. The calculations a lot of the time built into the programming code and is done for you


What is math in java programming?

The java. lang. math class allows for the use of many common mathematical functions that can be used while creating programs


Why is it that there are people who are good at Math but terrible at Science?

Because math and science are two different entities altogether, although math is the language of sciences like physics, chemistry(except for organic) and engineering, there are sciences that don't use a ton of math(computer science for example, there were so many programming courses that don't rely heavily on math, and the only programming courses that do depend on math are game programming courses and algorithms). Biology is another example of a science that doesn't really depend on math


Can a strong math student do well in computer engineering and programming languages?

It depends. It's probably the best type of person to start computer engineering and programming. I consider myself a strong math student and a good programmer. But I'm young and not experienced.


If you are good at math can you do programming?

Yup

Will you do badly in physics chemistry and engineering if you are good at math but bad at programming?

Physics and engineering in college are almost all math, so you should have no problem there. You may be bad at programming a computer, but perhaps you are not so bad at being a user. For example in electronic or mechanical engineering you will use very sophisticated CAD and math software, but as a user; not really programming as a software engineer does. But I would say not to give up yet on programming. Everyone goes through what I call the "sweaty armpits" stage of programming, but after that most people (especially people who like math) really take to programming.


Why are people who are bad at maths good at programming?

programming requires a lot of basic math and some basic algebra. it can be hard to get a good job at programming withought knowing much math.
