yeah. programming doesn't really needs math. it logic. math is difficult because you need to memorize a lot of symbols. programming i just plain text. damn, I can understand math via programming rather from books or teachers

mathematical symbols are just shorthand for logical concepts. it's easier to write a summation symbol than a for or while loop.

Holy shit what kind of CS degree is this? We had to take at minimum 2 semesters of calculus, discrete math, linear algebra, statistics & probability. And that's all baby stuff.

Nah it was a bachelor's. There was a math module each year, over the course it went over the stuff >>6415681 said. Touched on analysis methods, mainly looked at maths in terms of computable physical systems and graphics processing. Later there was some probability theory in AI.

>Programming doesn't really needs math.

Technically speaking, mathematics includes all logical abstraction methods, so you'd be far more precise if you've said something along the lines of: "There are branches of programming that don't require algebra and geometry."

Programming is more a branch of mathematics than anything else.
Everything in it works because of maths and someone actually solving said mathematical problems before you (just the basic conversions of numerical bases are all maths).
Solving said problems, however, is more a thing for CE, rather than CS.
