Maths as a Developer

Contrary to most experiences in internet-land, the comments are where to go for the meat of this discussion on Luke Garrigan's post asking where programmers and developers use mathematics. There are a broad variety of responses from

"we're doing a huge disservice to our CS students by teaching so much math,"

through

"I expect there's a fair bit of it around, it's just not acknowledged as such,"

to

"Even when most of the work I'm doing comes from an external library an understanding of the math behind the functions is the difference between success and frustrating failure."

Check it out at the link below. Maybe some of you will have experiences of your own to contribute so please do join in with the discussion!
