Do I Need to Know Math For Programming?


With complex rules in mind, does programming require the knowledge of complex mathematics? Actually, unless you program mathematical software, only a bit of geometry is nice to have. Most of the examples here use only a tiny bit of math to accomplish their purposes.
Mathematics and programming do overlap quite a lot in their methodology. Math taught in schools provides a single solution. Programming results tend to behave a bit like a math proof, but only the proof isn’t just another bit of math. Rather, the proof of your code means that your zombies chase after humans.
A considerable amount of math required has been done for you by the computer. It is just up to you to know what math to use, and then plug in the right variables.

Cracking the Coding Interview: 189 Programming Questions and Solutions

Image
     by  Gayle Laakmann McDowell   I am not a recruiter. I am a software engineer. And as such, I know what it's like to be asked to whip up brilliant algorithms on the spot and then write flawless code on a whiteboard. I've been through this as a candidate and as an interviewer.  Cracking the Coding Interview , 6th Edition is here to help you through this process, teaching you what you need to know and enabling you to perform at your very best. I've coached and interviewed hundreds of software engineers. The result is this book. Learn how to uncover the hints and hidden details in a question, discover how to break down a problem into manageable chunks, develop techniques to unstuck yourself when stuck, learn (or re-learn) core computer science concepts, and practice on 189 interview questions and solutions. These interview questions are real; they are not pulled out of computer science textbooks. They reflect what's truly being asked at the top ...
