2 Programming is all MATH!

It is true! The behavior of a program can be determined by mathematical derivations. Although you may not feel that you are proving a theorem, or working out an equation, you are using mathematics when you design, develop and particularly debugging a program.

Without a solid background of the mathematical principles, a person can still become a reasonable programmer. However, to become effective, professional and flexible, anyone who is involved in the design, development or maintenance of computer software and hardware should have a thorough understanding of the related disciplines in mathematics.
