I think that my question is a little-bit strange but sorry for that. I need to ask someone about this.<br /> <br /> So I'am a programmer for ten years now. Not a big time.. <br /> I consider myself as a "jack-of-all-trades" programmer. My main area is Java enterprise development bit i know C,C++,a little-bit ASM and so on<br /> Next to this i love math and i love to solve problems :) <br /> I like optimization, algorithm.. i think that every programmer love these things (or should be)<br /> <br /> My question is:<br /> Could you please suggest me some areas of mathematics that is the closest for a programmer?<br /> So.. there are mathematics topics like algebra, number theory, lineal algebra, discrete math., and so on.<br /> Which pass for these:<br /> - There are many-many problems to solve<br /> - Need to write algorithm<br /> - Maybe need to optimize <br /> <br /> Okay i know that near every math things fit for these things.. But which area is closest for a programmer?<br /> <br /> I would like to do this in my free time, for a hobby-like.. and for learn new things.<br /> <br /> I think that maybe AI is the best for this. It has Genetic Algorithm, many-many problems to solve, and so on.<br /> <br /> <br /> Edit:<br /> Forgot one more thing.<br /> Maybe i can join some math-science based research tasks at my work.<br /> So you can suggest me math areas that pass for math research things.<br /> <br /> Sorry if i'am not too correct or precise. Maybe neither i don't know what i want :) <br /> <br /> <br /> Thank you,<br /> bocios<br /> http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/offtopic/428790/428790/programmermathematics-and-science/ Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:48:16 -0700 Off topic board http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/offtopic/428790/428849/re-programmermathematics-and-science/#428849 So, to clarify..<br /> <br /> Currently i learning a lots of math to use my programming knowledge other things.. not only for work.<br /> Because i'am a hobbyist of astronomy i thought that i can use my programming knowledge in this very-very interesting and beautiful science.<br /> Currently i have a basic telescope (it's a Luna-70) and i cannot stop to watch things with this, all the nights<br /> Please help me to see how can i use programming thing with amateur astronomy. Is it possible to do programming things at home if i'am an amateur yet? I know that maybe the question isn't correct but hope that you will understand my question.<br /> I'am open for new things, to learn things. <br /> http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/offtopic/428790/428849/re-programmermathematics-and-science/#428849 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 08:00:56 -0700 Off topic board
