Don't let this video scare you off. If you're good at math you'll likely be disappointed in most programming jobs, because it's so rare to encounter anything requiring more than high school math. Source: Professional programmer of 15 years.

Top 5 Maths Skill 1. Combination 2. Logarithm 3. Factorial 4. Exponentials 5. Modulus

"We don't have the luxury to giveup the process just because we don't like one particular thing" true.

The five math skills I need for my job are; addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions.

Senior Engineer with 8 years experience at a decently sized Australian tech company. I do have an engineering degree but don't consider it a necessity. I don't use these concepts often, but do occasionally. Mod and Exponential are the most useful. I don't really drill people on Log if you can eyeball a loop and explain what's happening and I can follow then that's a question answered well. Encouraging people to make mistakes and learn from them. The most important thing is to be able to think logically and be able to articulate decisions.

As a mathematician who has always been working in software development, I often find it frustrating, how little Math I'm actually able to use. The recommendations in the video were spot on. Though, aspiring developers should never underestimate the value of a solid theoretical background. If you have an area of interest besides computing, you should go for it and learn to code as a secondary skill. It doesn't matter if it is physics, mathematics, chemistry, economy, electrical engineering, linguistics - even history of art. Computer science is also great, as it provides a lot of insight, you will have a hard time mastering if you just focus on your practical skills.

Outstanding video and thoughts on what can help a developer! Having not been in a math class in a LONG time, the first two I'm very rusty in, but the last three I understand. If I had thought of what I know already, a lot of coding problems/DSAs would have been easier to approach. Instead, I over complicated things by not really understanding what I was seeing and read. Thank you for this video, it really cleared up some things for me!!! Now, I can use this approach to get better and confident in resolving issues.

This is a brilliant piece of teaching, with one real-life case illustrating five crucial math concepts!

One more concept that is missing is probability. In your exponential backoff example, the true algorithm doesn't exactly back off exponentially but rather picks a random number between 0 and x^N. This ensures that simultaneous clients don't remain synchronized and traffic can get through.

Mathematics is not only good for software engineers but mathematics helps a common man in every field of life. By the way I love to learn new examples and solutions of mathematical problems. Your way of explaining the mathematics importance is very impressive 👍

Honestly, I think the main point here is that knowledge is more linear than spacial than most think. It means, your scalar level grows as much as you learn, despite the actual content, because all boils down to how mature is your brain to associate problems with a solution. The actual subject is important for a specific need (like answering something fast), but in a long run, who knows when you gonna use it again? So, in the end, always keep learning, despite being engineering or math, physics or other. The more you learn, more evolved is your brain, more capable person you are.

One of the best videos on the subject matter I think. And you have teaching talent as well.

1. Coding ( I don't know coding as I am a civil engineer) 2. logx (y) = N, ~~ loge (X) = N ~~ log10 (X) = N 3. permutation, nPr = (n!)/(n-r)! = 3!/(3-3)! = (3*2*1)/(0!) = 6/1 = 6 = 9!/(9-9)! = 9!/0! = 9!/1= 9! = 9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1 = 362880 4. exponetial , 2^5 = 32, X^n 5. modulus, 27%5 = 2, how? the remainder after dividing one number by another case 1, 25/5 = 0, 26/5=1, lly 27/5=2 just a remaining thing not divided as fraction leftover thing is called modulus.

I am doing it. I am getting it every day. Inch by inch. I know that one day it will happen. As long as people like you exist! I will make it possible. Thank you so much. Keep spreading knowledge.

Such a beautiful information with Powerful delivery awesome man 👌🏻 god bless you for helping all of us. Thanks

Heyyy!!! This video is amazing, not only because of its great content, but because I come back here whenever I need a skill check. May you please make more of these? Your teaching method is amazing. THANK YOUUU!!!

Calculus ( even a painter needs it ) + Linear algebra + Statistics & Probabilty + Discrete math. This is what you need. For a start.

Finally a crystal clear answer to this question Thank You and Much Appreciated👍

One of the best video so far I came across, Thanks for such video.

Thank you so much for your videos, you help me a lot to look and move forward with coding!

There are some channels I feel proud that Ive subscribed to them.. Power Couple is one of them 👍

i think if you have touched the programming of robots, you may realize there are a lot of maths involved including matrix, calculus, tensors, linear algebra, .. etc. If you work with neural networks, also involved a lot of maths of different areas.

The way you teaching mathematics concepts, It's great developer can relate concepts while coding. Awesome

Dude i have watched 2-3 videos on log and time complexity. And this particular topic where we use logarithm to describe time complete. I never understood what it actually meant but you just explained it so simply in a few minutes. Now i need you to teach me DSA man.

Your graphical display of exponentials really drives the message home. Great video.

The beauty of computing is, you can test out the answer by your own by implementing your thought. Also, only a very small number of programmers are needed to focus on algorithm while most of us are just struggling in a chaotic framework world. basically you are expected to follow your manuals (doc) when you want to implement something.

Thanks a lot This is what i was searching from long time

This is indeed gold, great job! 👍

Very well made video; will definitely search more about these concepts on my own. I like your attitude, by the way, I think you'd make a great teacher.

One of the reasons programming is challenging is because an individual must learn and waste time on a lot of things that are never used. Nested loops are a bad practice in real world implementations yet a programmer must be aware of them anyway.

This video is spot on! Thank you for sharing it

Really loved this! Thank you man! ❤️👍

Wow! Never seen a simple, short but powerful example covering all the 5 vital skills which are explained very clearly 🙏🙏🙏

please bring more such videos related to data structures and algorithms explaining the concept...love ya!

This is awesome and motivating- thank you!

Huge thanks for some info m8t, even as a CS student this is often overlooked at

I love your content, keep uploading in this manner

Motivation , direction , everything in one channel, for free , can not thank you enough for taking time to make these videos

This guy is right! You win my like and I am following now!

Time complexity is n*logn since for post increment I++ or post decrement i-- time complexity is n for addition and substraction . In second case it is logn for i*2 similar for division.so there is for loop inside another for loop so we will multiply both time complexities.Hence time complexity becomes n*logn

This was an amazing video!! Thank you man

These math problems are pretty easy, we used to have to solve a lot of tasks like this when I was a student in high school.☺ I loved these tasks.

Shalom very cold afternoon here in Texas. This is very good. Thank you for sharing this!

Wow! The way you explained the things 🔥 was great

Spent a year learning modular arithmetics and mathematical analysis after watching the video. Thanks! I enjoyed math really

I honestly don’t regret going into Chem E vs being a programmer, after we complete our research, designs/drawings are finalized, we’re going home, the programmers were ALWAYS on the clock during big projects(but they are very important). I do enjoy using math to solve problems, but not in the same way programmers use it.

You really helped me to get my target. Keep going💪

Thank you for this content.

Following the way of "learning by doing or start doing after learning the basics" according to you said I made couple of projects but i suddenly realized that i became more of a person who google stuffs than actually understand why we are using a code in a particular scenario , although i understand which type of code to use in solving a particular problem but if someone ask me to solve the problem in a alternative way maybe i would fail to do it ... Can you shed some light on my problem it will be really helpful, i hope u understood my problem 🙏

OMG!! I just really appreciate your content, video, efforts & knowledge! It is genuinely worth knowing & helpful!! #lotsoflove🇮🇳❤️

So much good stuff crammed into a 9min video!! Maza agya!

I like the way you script the video. It has good logic structure and it is easy to follow.

Just another quality content 😉 and another accreditation from me as to ur previous videos . Love it ✌️

Thanks for the video, very informative

First after finishing the video i felt like i wasted my time since i learned all of these comcepts on extreme levels of difficulty in highschool already. But then realising that i'll actually be using my math skills in programming make me appreciate my highschool a lot more and in turn gave me so much motivation and felt so much better than i was. Thank you, have my sub.

This is extremely helpful, Thank you ! 😊

Thank you my friend. I am learning programming in my middle-age. I find programming is real fun, but I also find the maths skills you are discussing are also enjoyable. Even the professor did not explain the concept of exponential to me clearly when I was studying finance, but your video did it.

As all these concepts are covered in schools on secondary level in my country - it’s as obvious requirement as ability to read and write ;)

Great points. I teach STEM and include coding in my math (Calc, Analytic Geo, Linear Algebra, etc) and Astrophysics classes at the high school level. Also, not to be too picky but @7:53 that graph was not an exponential function (it fails the vertical line test)

I study Computer Science. In my university, I have to learn Differential and Integral, Discrete Math (Discrete Structure of Computer Science), Probability and Statistics, Linear Algebra.

Thats a bit missleading. For backend guys.. sure. But as FE dev I never used any of the concepts u have noted in your video. The most difficult math I ever had to do was to calculate the final price in the basket after deducing the 20% discount. Counting with percentages is being taught at around 3 or 4 class of math pre-algebra at elementary school.

Excellent video explains with simple and effective method Thanks for sharing

Thank you for making this video.

Excellent video, Thank you!

hi it amazing content can u plz create tutorials on all maths that are required for coding as playlist for learning or can u plz sugest sourse to leanr theem??

Finally, I have platform where i can use my class 11th and 12th maths. After watching that video I am feeling to good taking science stream at my higher secondary studies.🤩🤩🤩

Loved your video ❤ please put more content like this related to useful math skills in programming.

Subscribed. Awesome video. Will go through these concepts

Another great useful video, thanks 👌

Very proud to follow you and to watch your videos always there is something new thanks lot

Great applications and lessons on applying math to computation!

Sir pls make a Playlist for Data structure and Algorithm...

this is the question i asked my mentors but they told we dont need maths ...... Nice video keep going

You explained very fluently how programming is related to maths very helpful video 🙏🙏🙏

I'm taking Harvard's CS50 beginner programming course and the lecture on Algorithms tripped me up! I was confused about time and space complexity and Big-O Notation. Thank you for making this video. Your clear and concise breakdown using the ruler and for loop helped me understand the concept! My comment translated to emoji: 🥴😵‍💫😵 ... 😮🧐🤓

Having done programming casually since elementary school (I began teaching myself BASIC in second grade!) I can tell you that math is probably the biggest part of programming. Virtually every program-- even the simplest ones-- use variables to some extent, and usually also apply functions to said variables. Unless you're writing a "Hello, world!" program, you're using variables and by extension, basic algebra. If you ask the user for any input at all during a program, you need a variable to store it, be it a numeric value or a text string. And if you want to do anything to that user input besides repeat it back to them, you're going to have to write a mathematical expression that involves the variable that stores said user input. In short, programming IS math.

You certainly do not need math for web development, anyone telling you that you need math for web development is a fraud trying to sell you a course, or someone who is just a gatekeeper.

Great video, thanks!

It's fun that all this math skills you are talking about in video, in Poland we have mandatory in high school.

5 skills: Calculus, Optimization, Probability & Statistics, Numerical analysis, Algorithms

things to add, from my experience 1. If you are just a web dev, basic math would suffice, maybe an introduction to discrete math, graph theory, and set theory 2. Embedded systems, depending on the task can vary from simple IoT devices to full-blown embedded controllers, which HEAVILY use math (Signal analysis, calculus, (discrete)Laplace transform ) 3. AI, and machine learning programmers, heavily use graph theory and predominantly linear algebra for their optimization algorithm, gradient, and non-gradient-based optimizer. If you want to know the "under the hood" math of AI, you can read engineering design optimization by Joaquim. Although that book does not explicitly say AI ML design, but its knowledge is easily transferable to AI ML design. 4. Robotic, and mechatronic is a combination of DSP, kinematic, and dynamic mechanic 4. Dont ask me about 3d graphic engines, I never touch that subject (with that being said, I usually forgot about fizzbuzz and big O notation)

Outstanding bro , You are great Very easily explained

now i understand the log part in the coding, thanks😁

Can you please make a video on current layoffs and what lies ahead , especially for students who are in their final year of college preparing for companies

If you make videos like this and teach these methods to the beginners your channel will grow very fast, because people need to learn these topics in easy way

Thank you , I just entered a software engineer boot camp . Im taking MS psychology as well.

Well, i can sat with my experience - yes, some math formulas are very useful and ist's no matter If you are architect (like I was/am), or programmer. Some aspects are very specific - it depends from occupation. But that's what's was shown in nthis video i learned in my high school, when i was 16 years old. But in Poland we have (or we has - that was more than 20 years ago) very good education system.

2:14 N * 2^N 6:56..... Answer is 27 (basic pnc) I request you to correct me if I'm wrong 🙏

Another way to think about this stuff is to think about the goal in simple words - i.e. we want to reduce load on the server, and assume the server gets weak on each request. It'll automatically lead to these functions.

This video saved my life! Thank you!

My vote for most used of the 5 is modulus (from my experience). The remainder is so useful in many algorithms and solves many problems.

Here are the topics:- Combination Logarithm Factorial Exponentials Modulus

2:07 Time complexity : N(√N +1) Sorry if I'm wrong

Thanks, this was really helpful.

Wow as a hobbyist i should have expected to get quite some things wrong.But wow I've been humbled...

Your technique of teaching is so different...🥰

Even tho I'm good at all these math skills, I still struggle a bit while coding mathematical codes. Math is a must for programmers.

As a programmer I can say this is a great simple and clear info.

The example given in this video to use a that algorithm is an edge case. Having a deep understanding of Javascript and building an Next App at large scale company does not need you to be a math bad ass. Yes data structures and algos will help you be a better progarrming. But even then how much bubble sorting does a front-end engineer need to do to optimize the front end?

so what would be the answer if the nested loop was j*3 for each iteration?
