What exactly should I know about maths if I want to learn programming? Answers to this are really appreciated?

You don't need to know anything more than basic arithmetic, depending on what you're programming and what language you're intending to learn!





A logical, methodical mind and a lot of patience is all you really need...most languages i use have a Math function, such as math.exp (for inputting a formula), so it really depends on what you're working with.





For example, if you're programming graphics then you'll need more of an understanding of vectors, area, volume etc. Music often requires inputting expressions, (usually ones that you can pull straight from the text books), but you need to have a mind logical enough to break the information up into segments and then implement it.





But to begin with, you don't generally you don't need any and what you need you'll pick up as you go along.

Since you're beginning to learn, the most you'd really need to know is algebra and/or logic. I really don't think you'll need to have a strong grasp for calculus or anything higher. The main thing is to understand logic structures and the concept of variables.
Reply:Start with algebra and end with calculus. There are all kinds of formulas used when doing most kinds of programming.
Reply:Develop an interest in maths and be strong in the basics. With this you develop logic is very important so that it just leads to the sequence which is important in programming to get the right results.
Reply:if u r a beghinner in programming, then elementary maths is enough.


If ur programming demands complex graphics and AI, then calculus and diiff. equations play a major part
