Do you really need to know applied or discrete math to become a software developer?

Question

I met a lot of it guys, who have degrees in applied mathematics or engineering. But frankly speaking I am an eager humanitarian and don't know all this super superior math :( I feel like a loser becouse of it.

Answer 1

yes and no , some programs might just need subtraction/addition/multipilication/division and the yes is a sorta because all you really need is to understand the operators and know what your doing so changing my answer, the answer is no ,its just basic math

Answer 2

You do not need to be great at math to be a coder, although math is still beneficial in coding. A lot of coders cannot do math well, but they became great coders. You do not need to feel like a loser just because you don’t know advanced math. :)
