I Want To Learn Programming But I Suck At Mathematics by Cyril009(m): 9:46am On Jun 11, 2022 |
I really been all tech getting someone phone and going through the phone finished Senior Secondary School few years back I have always been bad at maths it started in primary 6 all the way to SS3 I never understood what the teacher was teaching didn't matter how many times I asked kids who were good at it i just didn't get it. So I want to Blockchain and Cryotocurrency programming and a couple other coding related skill but since I don't have any knowledge at mathematics can I learn programming/coding ? should I start learning maths before hand or will I be taught the mathematics needed for a type programming while learning programming/coding |

You no sabi maths? You wan learn programming ? Na church programme you go fit arrange be that oo.. You don't need maths for that kind programming,just CRS. 2 Likes

I won't be the one to tell you that mathematics is not important especially with regards to data structures and algorithms. One of the most important data structures graph is based of graph theory in mathematics. Graph theory is also used heavily in engineering and pure sciences like chemistry and physics. However, your lack of knowledge of mathematics shouldn't scare you off programming. There's a ton of resources You can use to brush off on your basic mathematics. Khan academy, brilliant.org alongside a host of others. Nothing should stop you if you are really determined. Others have done it and so can you 7 Likes 2 Shares |

You do not necessarily need maths to be a successful programmer. Just make sure you are very good in logic thinking. Although logic is very close to mathematics and it's applies to maths as well but not exactly maths. That's exactly where Mental Maths and Quantitative reasoning came from... It's just your ability to do some critical thinking. For example, if you have some data provided as gender and the question is, if you're not a boy what will u be? Now use a programming language of your choice to figure this out. It's like you having the answer before the question 20=10*2(); Goodluck! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Yep you do need maths, how much maths depends on what you want to specialize in. The best programmers I've met are good at maths even though some don't really enjoy it. Generally the more maths you know the better, especially when things like DSA and discrete maths come into play, and these are the backbones of really good programmers. You'll here a lot of folks talk about logical thinking, thing is there is no way you can be good at logical thinking and be bad at maths, even if you don't like maths. The good news is you can still learn maths, especially the fundamentals. I'll recommend Khanacademy. 2 Likes |

Cyril009:Truth be told you don't need mathematic in the average tech field, just the complex ones like game design where you'll need plenty physics, and maybe data science. But a good knowledge mathematics is good for programming (being able to think logically) Without logic you can't survive in any tech field even Blockchain. Anyway that's just my experience and research, let GREATIGBOMAN not see this he'll call you a fraud cos he's the best Dev in Nigeria 1 Like |

Guy you never learn anything u dey think of Crypto programming. You can learn both math and programming online from people who know what they're doing and NOT olodo Nigerian teachers who are just here for poverty alleviation. Math: https://www.youtube.com/c/khanacademy/playlists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=6 You can also start ur computer journey here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpIctyqH29Q&list=PL8dPuuaLjXtNlUrzyH5r6jN9ulIgZBpdo&index=1 |

If you want to gain a good knowledge of programming you can't dodge basic mathematics. math logic is always needed in programming, and some concepts of programming are purely base off mathematics. If you want to learn programming you must start falling in love with mathematics. you can always read along. |
