| Feb 27, 2012 at 15:47 | comment | added | Makotosan | I agree. I do a lot of enterprise development and haven't found myself needing to use a lot of advanced math, although it is definitely good to know as it can definitely help. I'd say every programmer should have taken at least Calculus 1. Other types of programs may utilize things like Fourier Transforms, statistical models, and 3D programming uses matrices often. | |
