1. What do you mean by "math generally"? Do you mean algebra, pre-algebra, calculus, statiscs, trigonometry, arithmetic, or other?

2. That depends. I mean, if you want to make a web browser, you don't have to know that much about math if you just make a basic one. But if you want to make a more advanced web browser, you will have to.(Trust me, e.g. testing kbps, packets/s, IP connections and branches, etc.) But if you want to make something like a 3D game, that will require tons of math, like trigonometry(sin, cos, tan will be very useful), and especially matrices. (Shifting matrices and converting them into pixels are like the most important thing you need to know in that case, and matrices are pretty easy in math.) So yeah, I guess if you want to unlock more chances of making a really good program, you're better off first taking a few weeks extending your mathematical knowledge!

Does a programmer design computer programs?

Yes. A computer programmer will at least use simple arithmetic. Most computer science degrees require a year of calculus, though I must admit that the most useful math classes I've taken were discrete mathematics. Math that deals with sequences, series, and sets tends to be the most common and useful (in my experience). Of course it all depends on what specific field of programming you will be in. If you will be doing a lot of network programming, then graph theory will probably be part of your everyday programming. Graphics programmers will need to know a good bit of geometry and trigonometry.


What computer language they use to create autocad?

Originally, Computer-Aided Design systems was developed in computer languages such as Fortran, but with the advancement of object-oriented programming methods this has radically changed. Typical modern parametric feature based modeler and freeform surface systems are built around a number of key C (programming language) modules with their own APIs. A CAD system can be seen as built up from the interaction of a graphical user interface (GUI) with NURBS geometry and/or boundary representation (B-rep) data via a geometric modeling kernel. A geometry constraint engine may also be employed to manage the associative relationships between geometry, such as wireframe geometry in a sketch or components in an assembly.


What subjects can you do if you are good at algebra but bad at computer programming in terms of writing code in every programming language including C plus plus and visual basic?

Just because you're good at algebra doesn't mean you have to be good at programming. Algebra is taught from a very early age (even in kindergarten) and it is one of those areas of mathematics, besides arithmetic and geometry, that virtually everyone uses every day without even realising it. It's such an elementary subject that there are no specific subjects you can do just because you're good at it. However, if you have a yearning to take algebra further then you might consider abstract algebra, an area of advanced mathematics studied primarily by professional mathematicians. No programming required, but there's absolutely nothing stopping you from learning to program. Even if you're no particularly good at it, it's still useful to have an appreciation for a variety of languages.

How do you write a c plus plus program to print a circle of numbers?

Ideally you should use a generic graphics library for this (there are many available, but opengl is recommended). It can be done with standard library console programming, however the console was never really intended for this type of programming. Once you have a graphics library, you can create a viewport and print anywhere within it using xy-coordinates. In most implementations, the origin (point {0,0}) is typically initialised at the top-left of the viewport. Using elementary circle geometry you can easily calculate the xy coordinate for each number you wish to print. Treat this point as the centre of your number, then calculate the bounding box for that number and centre it on the calculated point.

Who was the mathmitition created geometry?

Geometry has been studied in every civilization that we have written records of. In that sense, no mathematician can have created geometry. Euclid is generally recognized as having pioneered the use of the axiomatic method in mathematics. Of that work, his most famous is his work in geometry.


Who invented geometry?

It evolved in 3000 bc in mesopotamia and egypt Euclid invented the geometry text in Ancient Greece. His methods are still used today. It is generally attributed to Euclid, a Greek mathematician. In fact, basic geometry is called even today "Euclidian geometry".

What are some real world applications of geometry?

Euclidean geometry has become closely connected with computational geometry, computer graphics, convex geometry, and some area of combinatorics. Topology and geometry The field of topology, which saw massive developement in the 20th century is a technical sense of transformation geometry. Geometry is used on many other fields of science, like Algebraic geometry. Types, methodologies, and terminologies of geometry: Absolute geometry Affine geometry Algebraic geometry Analytic geometry Archimedes' use of infinitesimals Birational geometry Complex geometry Combinatorial geometry Computational geometry Conformal geometry Constructive solid geometry Contact geometry Convex geometry Descriptive geometry Differential geometry Digital geometry Discrete geometry Distance geometry Elliptic geometry Enumerative geometry Epipolar geometry Euclidean geometry Finite geometry Geometry of numbers Hyperbolic geometry Information geometry Integral geometry Inversive geometry Inversive ring geometry Klein geometry Lie sphere geometry Non-Euclidean geometry Numerical geometry Ordered geometry Parabolic geometry Plane geometry Projective geometry Quantum geometry Riemannian geometry Ruppeiner geometry Spherical geometry Symplectic geometry Synthetic geometry Systolic geometry Taxicab geometry Toric geometry Transformation geometry Tropical geometry
