RE: The Quest For Knowledge Begins With C

in #learning6 years ago

Oh yeah, the other thing about math...
It's not so much that I'm incapable. I can think logically and critically but every time I see x=y+n or some string with letters, numbers and parenthesis or n<= something or other, I think my brain goes into defense. oh no, it's math! Abandon Ship! ABANDON SHIP! LOL

Believe me, Meredith, I understand that reaction. I have it myself. When I'm reading technical papers and get to the strings of equations, my eyes glaze over.

However, I want you to understand that it would actually be possible to spend a lifetime programming without encountering much math, depending on the circles you run in.

However, just for completeness, I will say that (in the few cases where I have run head-on into math) just taking a deep breath and breaking it down into simple, component parts, usually takes most of the mystery out of it...

Steem and Python and 'C' on, my dear! :D

If I ever get into trouble with my homework, I think between you, kenny-crane, carback1 and meesterboom, you guys will set me straight. :D
