Hey everyone! I'm just getting started with programming, specifically Python, and I'm trying to wrap my head around the role of math in coding. Some people say math isn't really that crucial for most of programming, while others stress that it's very important. I asked some AIs about this, and they suggested I learn math as soon as possible. Can anyone recommend good books or resources to help me learn math geared towards programming? I tried using Khan Academy for a bit, but I'm not sure if that's sufficient. Any advice would be appreciated!

Understanding algebra can be very useful, especially for basic programming concepts. It's true that unless you're diving into fields like game development or scientific programming, you might not need anything beyond that. But even so, knowing how to manipulate variables and understand their relationships can really help. So, I’d suggest staying on top of your algebra skills!
