Do you need to learn math before you start learning coding?

Math is important for coding. Even though not every job in programming needs math, it's still pretty helpful to know it. It can make you understand programming concepts better and help you write code that is efficient and effective.

Topics like algebra, trigonometry, 3D geometry, vectors and calculus can be used a lot in programming. Especially if you're working in fields like data science, machine learning, complex software development, game development or graphics programming. Knowing math can also help you to develop critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities that are super important in programming.

But don't worry if you're not a math person! You don't need to be one to be a successful programmer. Some programming tasks require more creative thinking and logical reasoning than advanced math skills. Still, it's a good idea to have a basic understanding of math concepts to help you become a better programmer overall. In the field of web development you don't need math for just developing the frontend, like HTML and CSS you don't need to know any math at all, but in JavaScript you need know just some surface level math like algebra.
