I wish I was taught about the usefulness of maths growing up. When I did A-level with differentition and integration I quickly forgot as I didn't see a point in it.
At about 35 someone mentioned diff and int are useful for loan repayment calculations, savings and mortgages.
Blew my fucking mind cos those are useful!
Hated Algebra in high school. Then years later got into programming. It's all algebra. Variables, variables everywhere.
Ehh I wouldn't say variables in programming are all that similar to variables in algebra. In a programming language, variables typically are just a name for some data. Whereas in algebra, they are placeholders for unknown values.
Machine Learning is basically a lot of linear algebra, which is mathematically equivalent to solving simultaneous equations.
