Do I have to know math to be good at python?

Question

I have seen that python deals with numbers and some of the challenges and exercises that I've seen needed some calculations to be solved, so is math constantly used in Python ? I am asking this because I would like to understand some of the basics concepts that is found in the basics python course.

Answer 1

If you want to learn advance python to get into data science or machine learning you need to have some knowledge in linear algebra, stat etc.. Parts. But, if you are a beginner pythonista basic math like numerics and how to handle all these are enough.

Answer 2

You don't need maths to know a language but you should definitely have some knowledge of basic maths in order to solve problems through programming.

Answer 3

Thanks for your answers guys😃 In my case I want to learn python because I am curious about how things works. I had no clue that robotics uses python and raspberry pi, or that Artificial intelligence also uses python to be developed. I don't want to be a data scientist or work with AI, but I want to be able to code something and understand how it works, that's why I chose python, in the near future I want to develop some mobile games with python as well.

Answer 4

I dont think that, you have to be good at math for doing well in python.
As far i know, python just deal with the very primary concepts of math. Like the remainder, plus, minus and stuff like that.
So, my openion is, dont be worry about math. You just dont need to learn math for python. Just understand the functional theme and do focus on the syntaxes of python. That will be good enough. Thank you.

I will try to study more math, because I am not good at all in mathematics that's why I asked this question, but fortunately we have calculators and Google itself to help us hahaha
