The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Usefulness of mathematics in programming/systems design?

Asked by nloeber in Software/Systems Design, Font Creator

Tags: ,

Dear Experts,

I am a student minoring in computer science which at my university implies that I don't have to hear any mathematics courses. The majors have to listen to at least four mathematics lectures, so I am kind of wondering what I am missing out on. In computer science, I am leaning towards areas like application development and systems design, i.e. areas where mathematics don't offer as obvious a utility as in areas like cryptography and graphics programming. I am aware that I will have a steep learning curve should I ever attempt to dabble in these topics.

So what I would like to have everyone's opinion on is what kind of actual usefulness any mathematics training you went through has had while doing application programming (say, on things like regular run-of-the-mill transactional web applications) or systems design and especially which areas of mathematics I might want to brush up on when I want to work in these fields. I strive for an optimal value for effort, so I would like to leave out / skim over topics that don't provide much use for the mentioned areas of cs.

Especially I am interested in how your math training has "shaped your thinking" or has helped you "see problems in a different / more structured way", because that is one of the things I hope to achieve. Thank you all for sharing your opinions / experiences.Start Free Trial
