Hey /g/ how much math is actually involved in a programming career, I'm interested because I've heard from some that there's a lot of math involved and from others that it's just simple stuff. I've been looking at web development and software engineering, so far I'm leaning towards the software engineering but I don't know anymore.

In what you mentioned probably very little, in a CS degree you can expect a bit.
>>
That depends what you're programming, but being good at math certainly won't hurt and is required for some specific tasks.

Yeah that's what confused me, there seems to be a lot of math involved in getting the degree but not so much in the actual real world application of said degree.
>>
Just easy shit like NP completeness and partial differential equation

Why is everyone so scared of math? Do an equation 30 times and soon you'll not be bad at math. Math is all about doing math for fucks sake, so hike up your trousers and learn.

I had 3 surgeries in middle school that fucked my learning schedule and set me behind in basic algebra by two years so I manned up, studied my ass off, and now all is well. I'm average as fuck at math, but I just devoted time to actually learning it instead of saying, "Gahhh math is so dumb why do I have to learn this stupid thing?!"

My little guide on college classes in general:
All you need are connections to the smart people who know people and have all the previous exams dating back to the beginning of time.
There are only so many general types of practical exam questions that you can get and chances are you will pass theoretical parts as well if you memorize the previous exams.
That's all there is to it. That's how I cheated through college.

The big scam of CS is that even if you are too much of a betafag to join management, the chance of you using your deep knowledge in mathematics and algodat is close to zero. You will probably write Java CRUD applications for the rest of your life, unless you are a high potential who can get the very rare elite "rockstar developer" jobs.

Oh boy, I can't wait.

This. I had a class this semester that I didn't give a fuck about, looked on the past exams, only learnt about half (maybe 60%) of the actual material cause the rest never appeared on past finals. Got an A-.
