Nick,
For the mathematically challenged, those subjects are a bit tough. I mean I
managed to pull B's, but it was like laboring intensively under 110 degree
conditions with no food and water...absolute torture to get through....I'm
basically a artsy person, like to paint and draw, so my brain just couldn't
handle all the calculations. Besides, back then, I didn't know I was going
into programming.
I have to say though, I did attend an 11-month programming course a couple
of years ago, Java, C, JavaScript, RPG were the subjects, and my inability
to process calculations really never came into play. I passed with a 98.5
average and thoroughly enjoyed all. So I still don't see where it comes into
play.....unless you are talking about physically seeing how to get to the
bottom of calculation like in shopping carts and things.....which I can
visually see and work through.
Just because I am curious how others code, can you give me an example?

This is strange, I find myself using algebra and calc all the time in my
programming.
and I am not being a smart ass here.
