How does a programmer use math?

Question

I'm doing a school project about jobs that use math. Are there any programmers who can send me pictures of the math they used or tell me where i can find some pictures?

Answer 1

There are a couple of good pictures of weather prediction, and also of binary arithmetic (the basis of computing) at the links below:

Answer 2

Additionally, math becomes very important when a programmer is looking at predicting how long something will take. When we write a program to do something, it can sometime involve a non-trivial algorithm or way of doing something and if we want to see how long that will take, we look at "The Big O". You can probably do a search on that and come up with a lot or for "computational complexity". I can supply more information if you are interested, but it is basically a prediction of how long it will take to compute something based on the amount of input to the program.

Answer 3

Here is the Binary
010101 all you have to do is think that the next digit over is times 2 so if it was 111111 This number would = 126

Answer 4

every program uses code, and all code writes directly to the memory of a computer in binary, one's and zero's. All computers are the mathematics of binary.
