Re: Mathematics

Hey

Like all the other posts .. It depends what ur up to.

U will need to increase ur mathematical skills for eg :

Accounting practice
Cryptography
Gaming (3d engines)
Graphical Layout of objects
etc ...

But Inevitably some has written a function or bit of script that will do
what you need :)
