You don't need extraordinary math skills to program (though they help), but trigonometry and perhaps some Pre-Calculus is useful for everything.
Ahahahahahahahaha.
Currently doing higher (5th year of high school) physics and advanced higher (6th year of high school) maths as my maths module, and that's just semester 1.
I'm doing Physics 257 and Calculus II at the moment, and also learning C++. Both are helpful, but as yet I haven't had to apply any derivatives to my programs. You probably need them for a degree, though, not just for learning the stuff. Maybe I'm wrong.
Stop using wolf urine as cologne? I dunno what would cause that. I typically invoke the opposite response from most animals. I've had wild animals eat from my hand. The only thing to ever attack me (other than insects) was a domesticated wolfhound, because it hadn't seen me in over a year and thought I was an intruder. Oh, and a green snake that I accidentally stepped on.
I think I'm about average for animal attacks. Cats, dogs, cows, and such generally ignore me. Deer come right up to me and chill out, and birds fly around me sometimes. I have run amongst a herd of a few dozen elk, it was neato. On the other hand, I've been threatened by a bear, chased by two cougars, and attacked by countless horses. Bears tend to do that when you accidentally run near their young, so I expected that one. It was cougar season and I was alone, so that explains the chase scene with those. Horses? No idea. I'll be with half a dozen family members and horses will rear up in the middle of a parade and charge towards me. I'll be running on one side of the highway and forty horses in a pasture opposite me will run straight up to the fence and start whinnying and neighing and causing a commotion.
I like horses right up until the point they flip the fuck out. Then they're terrifying.
Hence why I am afraid of horses. They are always flipping the fuck out around me.
But enough about my apparent blood feud with horses. It's time for Intercultural Communications, there will be enough to RAAAAAAAAGE about afterwards.
