Math is creative as well, it's just that schools make you understand the complete opposite.

[@jordixboy]

It's not, logic & creativity is the base to develop algorithms

[@Speykious]

@@jordixboy Mathematics is defined as the science of numbers and their operations, interrelations, combinations, generalizations, and abstractions and of space configurations and their structure, measurement, transformations, and generalizations. There are lots of things that maths is about, and logic is one subcategory of math. To be able to solve an algorithm _is_ involving math. It doesn't have to be specifically this exact formal practice that has been learned in school in the class called Mathematics.

[@adiabath7729]

​@@Speykious I can argue with statement that logic is subpart of maths, but it would start another philosophical debate like Formalism vs. Intuitionism in early XX century. For me logic and maths are interconected but to very distinct formal sciences. Mathematics are also very far from numbers and operations on them (it can be if you are talking about number theory and algebraic structures), but rather it is about the exploring of formal systems (axioms) and where we can go from there. The sentence 'To be able to solve an algorithm is involving math.' is quite not true. You can involve, as an example, graph theory or discrete maths theorems to improve the idea in the algorithm (to be faster etc.), but the process of creating an algorithm has a little to do with mathematics. The truth is that 'mathematics' in schools is more like 'how to calculate boring stuff (for some reason without calculator) that I don't feel I need 101' and mathematics at the postgraduate level (from personal experience) has almost no need for calculations (you have Wolfram Alfa, calculator in your pocket and Python), only reasoning and understanding of what theorems are about. I'm quite upset when I see how teachers in school are presenting such creative subject... but about it is quite different story. I can only recommend here A Mathematician’s Lament by Paul Lockhart (a reflection on math education and howmathematics should be teached): www.maa.org/external_archive/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf Or short yt video on this text: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSZoqCOea-arbc

[@jordixboy]

@Pavlo Ruskevych It's not, logic is logic, and math is a subset of logic, not the other way around.

[@pranav_manoj]

[@mpb0406]

Interesting points. I have to agree on the point about creativity. The main reason I love programming is that I'm a very objective/logical thinker who likes to quantify things that most people wouldn't think to quantify. I like the idea of creating unique things but I don't see myself as a very creative person. Programming allows me to do something extremely logical/objective while also creating literally anything I could think of.

[@adiabath7729]

Nice video. I would add one more point to this great list of reasons why programing is good: applicability. I've been studying mathematics for about 5 years. University was not providing very good courses on coding (it was C/C++, Java) and therefore it felt like nuisance. Only recently I found out that actually the freedom to express ideas that I learn at university and use those ideas to build new one can be so much amplified with even beginner lever Python. Calculate things that were impossible before, build examples to understand principles or visualize various parts of theory, and have fun with "lego-maths" - so much can be done with coding. So, my point is that learning programing is essential skill not only when you would like to be software engineer, but also the knowledge is applicable in so broadly in STEM and beyond.

[@CallousCoder]

@Kalle touched on something here that triggered me to have a great comparison as to why I don’t like software engineering anymore. Programming these days is just putting Lego bricks together. We had to actually create the Lego bricks as wells. That was the challenge, after that it was just slapping them together, to make it. Shave a certain thing. I never liked programming the functionality, as I’m pretty much a systems programmer. But we don’t seem to need that anymore because everybody is working is inefficiënt high level (simple, slow and boring) langauges.

Doing your own projects, in new technologies, while you're unemployed/looking, displays this. Companies value that.
