00:00:00,657 --> 00:00:03,990
SPEAKER 1: Math is certainly helpful for
any number of areas of computer science

3
00:00:03,990 --> 00:00:05,320
and programming as well.

4
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,400
But you don't necessarily need to
be or feel yourself a math expert

5
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,320
to excel in programming itself.

6
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,200
Having comfort with arithmetic,
addition, subtraction,

7
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,680
and so forth is certainly valuable,
and something you'll use quite a bit.

8
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,530
And also, having some familiarity
with algebra and the ability

9
00:00:19,530 --> 00:00:24,300
to express yourself symbolically
with X's and Y's, and more aptly

10
00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:25,740
named variables than that.

11
00:00:25,740 --> 00:00:30,210
In certain areas, too, might
linear algebra and multivariate

12
00:00:30,210 --> 00:00:33,798
calculus also come into play, be it in
artificial intelligence or graphics.

13
00:00:33,798 --> 00:00:35,340
But you can work your way up to that.

14
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:38,850
And certainly, you can begin to better
understand the mathematic principles

15
00:00:38,850 --> 00:00:42,330
that you need if and when you're ready
to solve some of those higher level

16
00:00:42,330 --> 00:00:43,880
problems.

17
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,000
