>want to get into programming
>don’t know shit about math
How important is math when it comes to programming and what should I teach myself before getting into it?

software engineering courses stop at like calculus 1 (and they probably only do that so the other engineers don't laugh at them (they still laugh))

In conventional tutorials of high level languages the math shit comes later. Math is relatively important in programming in most jobs unless you're a front-end web developer or smthn. I'd say just get into programming and worry about the math later. After all, you have millions of online materials for math learning and probably a built-in calculator.

Depends on what you're programming. If it is highly specialized engineering software based on optimized numerical methods, then of course you'll need a lot of math. But if you just want to write some pajeet apps for Android or a shitty web 2.0 javascript website, then the highest math you'll need is adding or dividing numbers.

Not OP, but I want to write a software that can procedurally generate architecture based on real life principles and constraints, like plot size, building codes, desired purpose, etc.
Basically, I want to automate my job.
I know nothing about programming. Where should I start?

Scripting the CAD tool you already know?

Honestly look into GTP-3. Obviously overkill and you have to apply for access but there’s been some amazing stuff done using GTP-3 for that kind of stuff. It’s more researchy than practical right now though.

If you can do basic algebra, you’re set for the majority of things you’d probably want to do while programming.

No, more like you give it a plot/site and parameters of what the building is for, then it generates possible building variants that adhere to codes and regulations and other parameters.

Will do thanks

do I need to be advanced in math in order to learn machine learning, deep learning, python and data statistics?, I wanna become a data scientist lads pls help, the education system where I'm from is retarded and I made the mistake of picking biology and geology rather than math in the last year of high-school so I can't be accepted in any programming/computer science faculty/college :^(.

you'll need linear algebra for sure and maybe calc 3 but no advanced math for those topics.

No need of advanced math. But you better be real good at stats. Real good, means actually really good, like an expert. Not expert in calculating the mean of a set, but be an expert of all the depths of stats.

Probability, Combinatorics and permutations are super important. Better be good at those as well as university algebra and geometry.
