Why is it that some people who are good at math but bad at essays are also bad at programming in terms of writing code?

I highly doubt that you can generalize that. In other words, I doubt that all people, or most people who are good at math will be bad at programming.


Is it true that if you are not good at computer programming in terms of writing code you will not do well in computer hardware engineering?

No


Can you still be an engineer if you are not good at computer programming in terms of writing code?

Yes. If you are professionaly trained for both terms of engineering, there is a possibility that you can.


Why is it that some people who are good at math have trouble with computer programming in terms of writing code?

I believe this is because math is just getting answers, where as in coputer programming you have to apply the answers in the right place in order for it to work. In other words, you may be able to do a mathamatical equation, but you might not know where in the script to insert it. It's basically applying usless information in a place to make it usefull.


Why is it that I'm good at math but bad at writing and programming in terms of writing code for every programming language?

That's because different people have different skills, and preferences. However, don't decide too early that you are "bad at ... programming"; you may just have set yourself a "mental block". In other words, you might still learn it, once you get over your negative attitude about your own abilities.


Why is it that some people who are good at math have difficulty with computer programming in terms of writing code?

Perhaps you are new at it. However, if you are good at math, then that seems to indicate that you are good at abstract reasoning; so you can still learn it.


How is computer programming in terms of writing code related to writing a paper?

It is quite unrelated. About the only similarity is that you use your keyboard. Instead of writing prose, in computer programming you have to write very precise instructions; if you commit some error, the program will not run properly. It might go into an infinite loop, for example, meaning that you need to interrupt the program forcefully.


Does a mechanical engineer need to know programming in terms of writing your own code?

If he intends to write his own code then it stands to reason he would need to know how to program.


Is it true that if you are good at math but bad at programming in terms of writing code in every programming language you will fail engineering?

You don't really need much computer programming for most engineering courses - except those where you specifically concentrate on computer science. And I don't see any reason why you should fail at OTHER, unrelated, subjects, just because you are bad at writing code. Finally, I think you shouldn't be afraid of writing code - you can still learn it.

Why is it that some people who are great with math have trouble with writing papers?

Writing is fluid, yet structured, unpredictable yet follows a pattern. Depending on what major or program you are doing in university, it's a good idea to work on your writing skills. For example, if you are studying engineering and planning to be an engineer, then writing isn't important, only math is, but for other programs such as the humanities, social sciences and some of the sciences like biology, ecology and taxonomy, you will need to know how to write papers. Math on the other hand is done only once and it has a right or wrong answer which makes it predictable, easy to understand and fun to learn and practice. However, computer science is also writing intensive because in programming, you have to write code that the computer can understand, although it's similar to math in terms of the variables, understanding math will not help you at all with programming because like writing a paper, you have to have a fluid train of thought(I had people in my math class who know nothing about math but when they program, their code works perfectly).
