Title: I&#x27;m a self taught full stack developer who&#x27;s flunk out of high school and did not have the chance to study &quot;advanced&quot; maths such as calculus, statistics and probability.<p>In 10 years of experience I never felt the need for any of it, and a recent contract requires, for a simple feature, the basic knowledge of derivatives (given a polynomial curve, graph it in a dotted line when it falls off from the local maxima).<p>I&#x27;ve started catching up on courses on Khan Academy and having a great time. My question is, which math (or physics) knowledge have you actually used in your programming career, and think it&#x27;s mandatory for software engineers to know?<p>PS: If anyone from Khan Academy is reading this, thank you for your project, you&#x27;re doing a great service for humanity.
