Committed to learn coding if anyone can teach me happyface

Neither of which are worth a penny if you cant think logically. If you cant think logically then you cant program logically which leads to the fact that you cant program, or cant program efficient, bug-free, working, easy to read and understand code. Your maths parts (if any) would look great if you were able to write them down in a logical fashion, but even then the rest of the source wont work so whats the point.

The point is that there are problems which can be solved one way, or another, and if you`re in possession of knowledge like programming methods, or the theories listed above, which are based on math, the more likely you can find the optimal solution IMO.

What does that say? Well, math is being memorized where as physics forces you to actually... think.

I'm one of those people, but it's not really a hard subject; it's the way it's taught at my university... that is, pointlessly rigorous and we were expected to be "fluent" in physics, and when I took the class, no one was a physics major (all engineering) and he had to grade on a 19 point bell curve. :rolleyes:

I agree, discrete math is really important for computer science in general and has a slew of applications (by the way, discrete math is pretty much entirely logic based). When I said that you don't use math much in programming, I was talking about continuous math.
