Why Learning Mathematics Is Important For Computer Science
Computer Science has a very logical structure. To do X you need Y. Code has many mathematical underpinnings. To fully understand how the code structures work and why they are written the way they are, you must first understand the mathematics that is buried beneath this structure. Two very prominent courses in computer science are Linear Algebra and Calculus. These courses, when combined, become a base for various fields of computer science, such as data science. Applying Linear Algebra in order to properly fit curves and following that with Calculus to find the rate of change can help solve many problems in data science. While that is just one example, the general case is true, as well. Mathematics education is important in every sub-field of computer science and continues to be important as we move forward. Acquiring a solid mathematical foundation can help when trying to acquire a stronger understanding of computer science.
Good luck and happy learning!
