Topic | Do you ever use the math you learned in high school or college weekly? |
Sahuagin 07/02/17 3:42:36 PM #8: | Linear Algebra comes up near constantly if you do 3d game programming, which I only do occasionally as a hobby. Vectors and Matrices and so forth. Also mathematical induction which can be useful, but no not weekly. Discrete Math has a lot of regularly useful stuff like the pigeonhole principle, fundamental theorem of arithmetic, GCD/LCM, etc.etc. Using it "weekly" is tricky, since as a programmer anything like that that I used I would just program so I never had to do it manually. Some of my programs that I use daily are basically linear equation solvers, which is linear algebra, for example. --- The truth basks in scrutiny. http://i.imgur.com/GMouTGs.jpg http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png ...
