A solid background in Math is important to those subjects because they all involve a lot of math. If you don't already know a lot of math (i.e algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus) then those subjects will be extremely difficult to get into and more importantly to do well in.
In physics you might have to calculate the force of an object in motion, the speed of light through a substance, or the frictional constant of a surface. All of those would require you to at least already understand varying levels of algebra. Engineering is based off of physics.
In computer programming, you will be doing a lot of explicit logical thinking and having a strong background in math will have developed such logical thinking skills. You will be asked to solve problems and to write a variety of programs and they will require you to understand math: whether your writing a program to calculate and display the slope of an equation or if your writing a program to calculate a business' taxes, you will first need to understand how to do that yourself before you can instruct the computer on how to do it.
Because it's all based on math.
Yes.
Mathematics is important because all code and data used by a computer is digitally encoded in binary. It's the only language the computer understands and having an appreciation for that language goes a long way. Digital machines are also logical machines and logic is also a branch of mathematics. Even at the simplest level of programming, you need to know basic arithmetic and of course algebra. The greater your mathematical knowledge, the easier it is to write efficient code.
Highly possible, math is more important than writing.
Trigonometry is part of the mathematics series leading up to and beyond calculus. It is necessary for IT students because many programming problems are based on mathematics and, without a thorough grounding in mathematics, the IT student will be limited in what he or she can do.
Virtually all of mathematics, science, architecture, and engineering, depends upon geometry. Human civilization as we know it couldn't exist without this basic branch of mathematics.
Mathematics and numbers in general are important in all programming languages because the native language of the digital computer is a binary language, when we can represent numerically using the digits 0 and 1. While abstract languages like Visual Basic do their best to shield us from the underlying binary language, allowing us to use a more English-like language with decimal notation, we must still be conversant with binary notation (and its related bases, octal and hexadecimal) as well as binary mathematics and binary logic if we want to ensure that our algorithms work as efficiently as possible. Science and engineering use a more traditional approach with respect to mathematics, but there are very few professions where mathematics is not important. For instance, any construction worker will be able to tell you that any triangle with sides of 3, 4 and 5 units will form a perfect right-angle. While he may not know the precise reason why this works, mathematics -- and Pythagoras' theorum in particular -- prove that it works. Mathematical proofs are unquestionable; they are logical and factual. And in science and engineering, as well as programming, facts and logic make all the difference. Guessing will only get you so far (if at all), whereas mathematical proofs will always lead to bigger and better accomplishements, helping us to a better understanding of the physical world around us.
As an engineer, calculations are performed which involves math. When pursuing a Masters degree in engineering, most courses are heavily math.
subjects in engineering first year (cse) students are:- 1.basic civil engineering 2.basic mechanical engineering 3.engineering mechanics 4.engineering physics 5.mathematics (M1) all these subjects are in engineering first year (first semester)
If one wants to pursue a systems engineer career, it's important to have a background in either automotive engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, computer engineering, or electrical engineering. It's usually seen as an extension of regular engineering courses.
Mathematics and science are important in Africa's development because it allows students to grow into individuals that can solve their own problems. With a strong science and math background, individuals can use these concepts o make improvements in infrastructure, technology and medicine.
Some of the lasting contributions of ancient Egyptian civilization cover areas such as mathematics, engineering and medicine.
