It's been asked before about the importance of knowing mathematics for programmers and I wonder if you think that mathematics will be more or less important for software development in the future. More specifically do you expect a software developer or a programmer in the future to know more or less mathematics? I would believe that most good programmers know some calculus, algebra and/or discrete mathematics or combinatorics to be able to analyse a problem.
Is this question something that would not get closed and might get an answer? I don't know if it's good for math, pm or programmers.
Question
Will mathematics be more or less important for the software developers in the for future e.g. 50 yearsw from now, 100 years from now or even further on? I chose to study computer science when I thought that it was important to know more mathematics. I assumed that you had to know much mathematics to be a skilled programmer. Then I read here and there that you might not know much mathematics at all to be a programmer.
Or would you think that roles in teamwork will get more separated and specialized between programmers, architects/designers and and software analysts where programmers might not have to know much mathematics becuse an analyst already analyzed and did the mathematics for a specific program, where the architect/designer was responsible for design and a programmer just translates a problem that was already guaranteed to work and the programmer must not now mathematics and that could be the responsibility of a software analyst?
