I've been working for the past 15 months on repairing my rusty math skills, ever since I read a biography of Johnny von Neumann. I've read a huge stack of math books, and I have an even bigger stack of unread math books. And it's starting to come together.
自从我读了Johnny von Neumann的传记,我已经为弥补我糟糕的数学技能花了15个月了.读了大量的数学书籍,不过呢,似乎我还有更多没有读.当然我会接着做的.
Let me tell you about it.
现在我就来告诉你这些.
Conventional Wisdom Doesn't Add Up
告别传统观念
First: programmers don't think they need to know math. I hear that so often; I hardly know anyone who disagrees. Even programmers who were math majors tell me they don't really use math all that much! They say it's better to know about design patterns, object-oriented methodologies, software tools, interface design, stuff like that.
首先:程序员不认为他们需要了解数学.我常常听到这样的话;我不知道还有没有不同意的.甚至于以前是主修数学的程序员也告诉我他们真的不是常常使用到数学!他们说 更重要的是要去了解设计模式,面向对象原理,软件工具,界面设计,以及一些其他类似的东西.
And you know what? They're absolutely right. You can be a good, solid, professional programmer without knowing much math.
你了解吗?他们完全正确.你不需要了解很多数学你就能做个很棒,很专业的程序员.
But hey, you don't really need to know how to program, either. Let's face it: there are a lot of professional programmers out there who realize they're not very good at it, and they still find ways to contribute.
