You didn't find anything because you didn't add anything to any code. You've never even looked at computer code. You think math is underused in computers.
How old are you?
I am thirty five and know people that have done information technology degrees without maths, meaning it is underused in this field.

When programming sounds or graphics, many programmers only know how to program the 'core.' this could be here they simply put in place the core instructions, like the web of a spider, without the spider or web sack. this plots the area of the program, imagine a building with just supports?
Anyway, sounds and graphics. this is output for the user to observe and interact with the program. to program graphics with robots, you simply need to say if this, then this - this is the fundamental understanding you need of computers. so, if [this], then monitor output [that]. simple right? if you were to work on a black and white monitor like bill gates did, then it comes down to power supply toning the pixels. today we have a graphics card to tone them for us, instead of tell the power supply how hard to go, it tells the video card how hard to go, the card then gets an extra sign as to fine tune the output.
If you wan to program graphics, it is as simple as that. sounds work the same through the sound card, mind you.
Now, if you were to make a robot that replaces the graphics card, this would require a lot of programming content. or, you could program colors into the robots, and then switch between the pixel outputs. this would require very little programming, so could save you on a whole card! remember the card does not go into the monitor, it merely translates things.

Recently i was trying to figure out how to add a chip to electronic notebooks for excel style programs, and thought the programming must be really messy for this type of program if they deal with every aspect, and that is why it is so expensive and big. then i decided that adding some basic maths to this it would result in much quicker programming techniques, of course.
I found that if you were to add 'logarithms' and 'scales' to the programming code, say pixels of representation or values where they measure, for example, the size of the text within the 'block' or 'field,' you could add values where you say that the text represents how wide the 'block of text' is. this must be done as when you over type the value inside the bloc, then it will go into the next field, if there is no hidden text inside the block. this would mean it would be a right royal mess, if you ask me?
So, i decided that [field display] = [area of text of font] - [hidden text]. i am not sure how to code that as i do not understand the language that much, but, i think maths is very underused in this field of coding. this is why i am suggesting adding programming theories to information technology, including maths requirements.
As it stands now, there are far too many people in this sector, and requiring them to have maths will limit the back log of this. on the other hand, things like finance will be more comely to them, as you make more money anyways.
Learning one language is often enough if it is used enough, but, simply compiling all languages into one program would be better, yes?
If you learn a language, and the functions are either the same, or they are different, they will overlap fine, if you ask me.
Hey, i got an idea, why don't i make a hybrid computer programming language with some programmers to do the 'hard work?' we can call it hybrid 0.1!

As someone who has worked for decades in information technology, I can tell you that your assertion is correct. Matrix theory is essential to writing GOOD code. Having a subconscious feel for collections, arrays, structures and the like is essential. A good exercise for aspiring Software Developers/Engineers/Architect is to work gobs of matrix calculations and differential equations. If you want to separate a good software person from the hacks watch how they do statistics calculations. Do they use memorized formulas or do they use matrices?
I too have met several software people who are not mathematically inclined. They are called copy-and-paste programmers. They take GUI applications and turn them into gooey applications.

??? Do you have ANY idea how much you don't know?? You don't have to add a chip for a specific program, you just have to have space to install it. Auto-sizing a field is EASY. When I've had to do it in code (instead of just using built-in auto sizing properties), it's 5 lines of code at most (create a variable, check the needed field width against the variable's value, if it's greater than the variable's value, set the variable to the needed width, set the field width). Anyone trying to write a spreadsheet program from scratch is dumb. Too many open source solutions for that ancient piece of tech for anyone with two neurons to rub together to ever consider re-inventing that wheel.
I would rather have a malleable intern any day of the week than a zombie employee that just wants to copy-and-paste their way through the day. Someone who wants to write their own spreadsheet as an academic exercise is OK in my book.
IT isn't the same as programming.

You could call it C#...
That's funny, I don't care who you are. So you want him to call his new language C-Pound? I have talked to a few recruiters that were looking for C-Pound experts. :lol:
