Mathematics and programming - is it really necessary?

Question

Freelance

Hello everybody.
I'll start with the backstory. I'm a schoolboy, I'm in the 7th grade at the gymnasium and everything is cool, the elite gymnasium (my father arranged it) ... So I'm thinking of becoming a programmer, but I'm more of a humanist with mathematics, somehow everything goes badly. I would like to make games or, at worst, just programs, or games for mobile phones. In connection with this, I have a question: is it worth throwing all your efforts into studying recalcitrant mathematics, or can a programmer not know mathematics at all?
Thank you all for your patience and help

Answer 1

When math is bad in 7th grade, it's bad. If you do not correct the situation, then in a technical university, especially a good one, life will not seem like honey. And it makes no sense for a programmer to go to a non-technical university, it’s better then to work right away.
In game development, mathematics is all around in programming, it will be hard without it.
But if you write, for example, some sites, then mathematics is not really needed there.
If I were you, I would think about choosing an adjacent field, if you want so in game development, for example, as a designer.

Answer 2

There, above, there is a field "Find a question, answer, tag or user."
Use it, because they ask about math on the Toaster every day.

Answer 3

Programming is more about logic than mathematics.
If you are bad at mathematics, and this is already in the 7th grade, then I am afraid to imagine what you have with physics and what will happen to you with the theory of algorithms, combinatorics and other "abstract" matans. Either solve the situation with mathematics quickly and decisively, or alas: anything, but definitely not games. The database also needs mathematics, but this is more logic than formulas for 10 pages. Talk to your father, he may well solve the situation in this way: all subjects except mathematics and physics are given to you to pass quickly and simplified. You can take courses. But such life hacks must either be brought to the end, or not taken. In fact, this is how you cheat the education system for the sake of devoting more time to mathematicians and physics.

Answer 4

Ivan Rakovnikov :
1. The mathematical and logical mindset has never bothered anyone! Even if you are not a programmer, the time spent on learning mathematics and developing logical thinking will pay off in the future! You will be more successful and more effective in solving your life problems in the future!
2. You can be a programmer without knowing mathematics. But! The quality of labor. Development speed. Efficiency. Finding better solutions. All this succeeds, as a rule, more often for those who know mathematics!

Answer 5

To begin with, it would be nice to understand whether the humanities student will be able to master at least one programming language, and then deal with less priority things.

Answer 7

I am studying in gynasia progaming.

oh is everything so good? and would it have been possible to enter the gymnasium without the help of his father? maybe well, these programming and game dev, no matter how fashionable it may sound

Answer 8

Take any more or less serious project and you will immediately feel all the gaps in the knowledge of mathematics. Especially games... Games should have physics, which will be calculated using mathematical formulas. I'm not talking about 3d where you have to calculate the distance between points during deformation, or calculate so that the shadow falls correctly. So the math is NEEDED, otherwise you won't get any further echo "Hello World"; Good luck))
PS If you can't grasp the math, then cramming won't help you.

Answer 9

Definitely "throw all your strength on the study of recalcitrant mathematics"
