What is the most important subjects on math for coding?

Question

Is it only about algebra? Basic calculations or high level maths? And give the examples of the usages.

Answer 1

It depends on what do you want to program, the more complex it is the higher level of math you'll need.

If for example you want to make 3d rendering codes without webgl then you'll need linear algebra & vector analysis/vector calculus.
If you want to make games with realistic physics then you'll need differential equations/integration/calculus.

Answer 2

Discrete Mathematics is the skeleton of Computer Science and advanced programming, especially data structures and algorithms. You just need high school algebra to understand it. The textbook Discrete Mathematics by Susan Epp is a great resource. Discrete math a special type of math that is the opposite of Calculus. Boolean Algebra and Linear Algebra are also important higher level math.

Answer 3

Math is really important and basic algebra just helps you to start off in programming but what other topics in maths you need to know depends on your programs need.
Say, you are making a function to find Sin(x). Normally it won't be possible/easy with basic algebra but if you knew taylor series method then you can do it easily as
Sin(x) = 1 - (x^3)/3! + (x^5)/5! - ...
The more you know, easier it will be for you and you can make your code shorter too.

Answer 4

You will probably need trigonometric functions when you are dealing with physics(game)

Answer 5

statistics and descrete mathematics and also abt vectors
