Is it possible to become a programmer without knowing physics at all?

Question

IT education

Is it possible not knowing physics, but knowing well the Russian language, mathematics, computer science, to enter the institute as a programmer? What specialty can you get?

Answer 1

It is possible and even necessary. Knowledge of physics in programming is necessary, well, in very specific tasks. Even a good knowledge of mathematics is needed mainly in game dave, and then, given modern engines, not always. Naturally, being a woodpecker in algorithms and basic mathematics is the way to shit code, but physics. :)

Answer 2

It was the same with me, I didn’t understand physics at all after the 9th grade, most likely because of Kasyanov’s textbook. I entered mathematics at the IT department (although now physics is required for the same specialty) In general, they googled university sites, but whatever one may say, university physics will be if you go to a techie. I advise you to go to a lawyer or an economist many times easier, there will be no suicidal thoughts from written formulas

Answer 3

Depending on what points, basically physics is not required.

Answer 4

Of course it is possible. Physics is required for a narrow class of tasks that you simply will not deal with. And if you want - self-education to help.
In our city, in the state, physics was required, and in the polytechnic - computer science. But the logic was not that programmers would need physics in many places, but to make a screening - it was more difficult to pass physics.
