Math & Programming
The moments where math and code actually meet
Evan Moon
6 chaptersRandomness, signal processing, type theory, monads. Mathematical concepts that show up throughout programming, explored through code.
01
Is the Randomness Your Computer Creates Actually Random?
Mid-Square Method, Linear Congruential Method, Mersenne Twister — the secrets behind random number generation algorithms
02
Do Developers Need to Be Good at Math?
Math is just a tool — good developers grow through logic
03
Efficiently Calculating Averages of Real-Time Data
Average calculation gets slower as data increases? Let's solve it this way!
04
Simplifying Complex Problems with Math
Think math is hard? Finding patterns makes problem-solving easier
05
Why Do Type Systems Behave Like Proofs?
From seeing type checks as compiler hurdles to reading type systems as logic
06
