Discussion on: Do you actually use maths as a developer?

Well, I don't require mathematics at work because I either use librairies that do that for me (Three.js and plugins for animations) or find the solution on the internet because I am not good at math but I guess it depends on the field of work. Someone that has to write a game engine from scratch for optimizations purposes will have to use maths more than I will.

I'm helping my CTO in the development of the website of a luxury brand that is using 3D rendering to allow their customers to configure their jewelry (rings, necklaces, ...). This is both challenging and interesting because I have all sorts of concerns (performance, SEO, design, ...).

Sounds so cool, I’d love to see the final product!

We have a website and here is a page example of one of our rings (note that it is not optimized for low-end devices and is not working properly in Chromium, but is working well under Google Chrome).

You cant use Three.js without thinking about maths. In fact Three.js made me actually enjoy learning maths again.
