Hello! The fact is that now the IT sphere is attracting me, I am taking courses for a tester and I plan to start working as a tester after them. Mainly because the threshold for entering this profession is not too high, and I don’t want to work in my profession (I’m a philologist, I’m about to graduate from the university).

As one of the points of growth, I consider the opportunity to grow into a developer, it seems to me that development for Android is interesting. Perhaps my motivation will seem naive, but I was just interested in the idea that I could learn how to create mobile applications on my own.

Please tell me how much higher mathematics is required for an android developer? What sections of it are needed in the work? What, for example, tasks related to mathematics can be encountered in the work of a junior or middle android developer?

I learn about mathematics, because there is an option to go to the master's program, which lasts 2 years and is designed for those who did not study programming in the undergraduate program. In this magistracy, they promise to give in a compressed volume higher mathematics, the basics of OOP. Right now I have knowledge of CSS, HTML, some C++ basics, Javascript basics and basic SQL knowledge. Everything was studied out of curiosity.

Thanks in advance for your answers!

There are few backenders who need sections of higher mathematics, not to mention mobile developers. The university teaches little of what is required in real work, so its presence / absence rarely affects anything directly. And if you suddenly need something, it's easy to find and study. Even higher mathematics.
So there are no barriers to becoming a mobile developer, except for your own desire and laziness.

A tower is rarely needed. Matrix calculations and all sorts of things beyond methods of approximate calculations will be required only when processing multimedia.
For example, OCR tasks https://habr.com/ru/post/332840/
In 99% of cases, the skill of solving "Entertaining tasks" for a school course is more useful.

question is when will it be at the top of the pillar. Answer 5 is not correct. Useful for developing the skill of writing correct cycles.

Can.

Most likely none. If you want to become a good programmer, you will need the basics of mathematical modeling, but that's another story.

there is an option to go to graduate school,

No knowledge is redundant. If you have the time and money for this, and most importantly the desire to learn
