Are there any programming-related jobs in the video game industry that don't require extensive knowledge of math?

>I never really understood why though
how?

>(a+b)^2
>same as (a+b)(a+b)
>a*a + a*b + b*a + b*b
>a^2 + ab + ab + b^2
>a^2 + 2ab + b^2

Yes. You won't need extensive knowledge of math, but you will need specific and specialized knowledge of particular fields of math. Most math you need is pretty much high school algebra anyway, and the rest is boolean algebra, some statistics if you want to properly measure performance and optimize, and maybe some lambda calculus if you want to do any good functional programming. It's a good idea to learn higher math anyway, though. It really comes in handy pretty often, especially things like graph theory.

If you want to program without knowing math, get a job making dumb CRUD systems or web shit. You can get a decent and cushy job doing it, but those areas are oversaturated specifically because they're flooded with math-retarded programmers. Your best bet is to actually buckle down and learn what you need to to get the job you want.

lol, here it is for all the kiddies lurkinng
(a+b)^2 = (a+b)*(a+b) = a(a+b) + b(a+b) = a^2 +ab + ba + b^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

I remember polymorphials

You won't need it but if basic shit like linear algebra or discrete mathematics filters you then you should reconsid- Oh, my bad, you said video game industry. You'll fit it in with the other brainlets there no problem.

>kiddies
You learn binomial theorem and Pascal's triangle in grade 7 though.

Games don't really use difficult math outside of the foundation that no development platforms will have you make from scratch. The rest is just learning whatever Math libraries you're using and you also have to know what certain transformations on numbers do. A good deal of it just becomes high school algebra once you figure out what you actually need.

You've never heard of FOIL in school? You have to actually multiply the the expression in the parenthesis against itself.

guys you explaining middle school math smugly to morons pretending not to know it is a most embarrassing display
pls stop

>I never really understood why though
Just FOIL (a+b)*(a+b).
Multiply first terms for each parenthesis, then outer terms, then inner terms, then last terms.
Then combine leftover like terms. Easy.

I can't keep any number in my mind just like names of people I meet

>morons pretending not to know it
There's no "pretending", user. Spend any amount of time here and it's pretty obvious Zig Forums is legitimately full of retards.

Not sure about those fellas but I'm definitely retarded basically remember 0 math from high school

(a+b)(c+d) = ac + bc +ad +bd
thus
(a+b)^2 = (a+b)(a+b) = aa + ab +ba +bb = a^2 + 2*ab + b^2

i just think it's fun to actually type out old formulas still somewhere in the back of my brain to make sure i don't forget them completely.

>doesn't know how distribution works until 7th grade
do americans really?

>grade 7
oh wait, ur a fucking leaf

>He needs a formula to remember a basic multiplication property
Cringe

Not him but imagine if a and b are 5
(5+5)^2 = 10x10 = 100
1. 5^2 + 5^2 = 25 + 25 = 50 =/= 100
2. 5^2 + 2x(5x5) + 5^2 = 25 + 2x25 + 25 = 25 + 50 + 25 = 100
It just works(TM)

brainlet

>DOOOOOOOOO AMERICUNS REEEEELLY?????
>proceeds to flood into top US schools
Why are europoos and chinks like this?

>The real tough part of programming is just being able to problem solve
Weird way of saying 'smashing the keyboard with your head until it works and then NEVER change it again, in fear of breaking it'

>programming
>extensive knowledge of math
whats that to you? kindergarden addition and subtraction?

yeah, no sweetie. why are you xoring a and b with 00000010?
