   I hate math, will I hate programming? NT

  It really depends upon what you aim to get out of programming. If you want to develop, lets say an office app, then you may or may not enjoy it, however there is in all aspects of programming a very strong element of logic and mathematical knowledge does help a lot.  Take a look at some beginners tutorials, look over the source code and draw your own opinions. Noone can tell you whether you will enjoy it or not, but you do get an enormous amount of satisfaction out of completing a program, where you know all the workings of what''s going on inside.James ;  Perhaps through programming you will start to love maths.Usually we hate what we do not know about... ;  Not necessarly. It''s easy to "hate" math when it''s teached badly at school. The same is true with programming.Programming as a hobby can be a lot of fun. But you''re to be willing to spend a lot of time learning. It can also be very frustrating at times. For programming games you''ll need to do some maths.Also the abiltiy to solve logical problems is a very important skill to programming as well as maths so you''d better enjoy that to some degree.;  Many people dislike maths because little/grade/high school teachers tend to hate it too. They pose math as the things that all student should ph3ar... thats so sad.Programming IS doing maths, IMO. ;  Well if you want to be a game programmer then to be honest you''ve got no chance without having a decent understanding/liking of math, but before i started programming i wasnt too big on math either because my teachers at school always seemed to find the hardest, most complicated way of describing things.But after a while i realized that game programming isnt game programming without math and after a while i just taught myself most of the math and it was alot easier to understand so i started to like it more.So, unless you''ve only just started programming, just give it a while and you''ll probably start to hate it less over time as more things start making sense etc.   ~aussie"one of these days im going to cut you into little pieces!" -  Pink Floyd ;  i never got passed basic algabra in high school. also, i hate math. im taking college algabra (math 178) right now in school. i dont HATE it, but i dont like it either... anyway, the point is, i love programming, and it has nothing to do with math.. honestly, unless your doing 3d games you dont need math at all in programming (maybe a little).... pathetically, just yesterday i had to look up what ''powers of 2'' meant on google lol.. ;  Follow a few of the tutorials on Gamedev.net and find out.  I''ve always hated math very much, but I enjoy programming. ;  I never enjoyed math classes until I realised programming and games especially had a great dependancy on the material I was being taught, now when we start to cover new topics I can see ways of it being used in games development. This not only makes the topic of mathematics easier in my opinion, but also a lot more fun to spend my time learning and doing. ;  Admittedly I have never hated maths. But I did find I liked it a lot more when I had a practical purpose for it, i.e. programming. I didn''t need maths to start programming, just a vauguely logical mind, but good maths is such an elegant way of solving so many problems that I started to love the stuff more than ever.That said, I specialise in 3D graphics and that is one of the most mathamatical areas.
