Is it possible to hate math and still be a competent software engineer?
>>16542642yes
>>16542642considering you barely need any math in programing sure
>>16542649Then why do CS degrees require so many math courses?
>>16542650Because CS is an academic field and not a training bootcamp It's the same difference as in a Mechanical engineer and a Mechanic.
>>16542656Ok but it's the only degree that can get you a software engineering job. I don't think that mechanic analogy works because mechanics don't design cars, they only fix them.
>>16542642The term "software engineer" itself is quite vague.It includes everyone from a person writing drivers for rockets to a generic webshitter.In development related to graphics and rendering a lot of Math knowledge is needed.
>>16542661Well I meant more like low level os development or maybe embedded programming. Those are the things that interest me most.
>>16542663A lot of Concepts in Engineering and Computer science are downstream from physics and mathematics.Most Embedded software developers have a background in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
See?
>>16542663Systems software development is covered in a generic CS curriculum.However Operating systems have been developed over decades and there is a lot to learn in terms of philosophy and design.
>>16542661i do development in graphics and rendering, i don't know shit about math, i just steal other people's algorithms like people copying html into their myspace back in the day
>>16542689How did you get hired? Didn't they realize you're a fraud in the interview?
>>16542650Troll in four. Try harder.
>>16542706jeets are expert scammers.
>>16542706graphics is a low iq field lol
>>16542706i make custom engine on my own, i'm being sarcastic, i know a good amount of math but i'm far from a mathematician
>>16542642Yes, most programmers just look shit up on google anyway
