Introduction
• Math and coding go hand in hand.
• Many programming concepts and algorithms
are based on mathematical principles.
• This presentation will highlight the main
mathematical concepts used in coding.
Arithmetic Operations
• Basic operations like addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division are core to
programming.
• Used in calculations, logic, and data
manipulation.

• Example:
• x=5
• y = 10
Algebra in Coding
• Algebra is essential for managing variables
and solving equations in programs.
• Used to create formulas for algorithms,
especially in games or simulations.

• Example: Solving ax + b = c in code using


variables.
Data Structures & Discrete Math
• Discrete math helps with understanding data
structures like arrays, trees, and graphs.
• Important for tasks like searching, sorting, and
pathfinding.

• Example: Binary trees and graph traversal


algorithms.
Linear Algebra in Machine Learning
• Vectors and matrices are central to machine
learning models.
• Operations like matrix multiplication help in
training algorithms.

• Example: A neural network with matrix


operations for weight adjustments.
Calculus for Optimization
• Derivatives help in optimizing algorithms, such
as in gradient descent for machine learning.
• Calculus helps find the minimum/maximum
values for functions.

• Example: Gradient descent for minimizing


error in machine learning models.
Probability in Coding
• Probability is used in cryptography,
simulations, and AI algorithms.
• Helps with decision-making, randomness, and
statistical analysis.

• Example: Random number generation or


decision trees.
Cryptography and Number Theory
• Prime numbers and modular arithmetic are
key in encryption algorithms.
• RSA encryption uses number theory to secure
communication.

• Example: Modular exponentiation in RSA


encryption.
Graph Theory in Networks
• Graph theory models networks and
relationships (e.g., social media, transport
systems).
• Dijkstra's algorithm helps find the shortest
path between nodes.

• Example: Using graphs to find the shortest


path between two points.
