we need math in programming because math is the best language for describing the universe…
you don’t really need much to do a lot of stuff, but it’s a very math like thing… the computer was invented as a general purpose math machine, programming languages are rather similar to math… variables, functions, etc….
imo they make students take way too much math and it ends up being “just prove that you could do this, not that you’ll need to”.
like, “multivariable calculus with analytic geometry” isn’t needed for anything unless you’re doing scientific work….
well you see, you get 15 different rocking cycles, and it can record your own distinct rocking patterns to exactly mimic a hand-rocked cradle… plus you can control it with an app and have it rock in beat with spotify….
…
i just made all that up but maybe some of it?
