Comment on Math topics useful for computer science/programming

Comments

I wrote the original question. I've always been interested in how much math various careers use, but I wrote this question the way I did in a shameless attempt to drive traffic to the site by appealing to the Stackoverflow and reddit communities. Everyone has given me a different answer so far, but that's to be expected, because there are ~1000 subcategories of computer programmers.

... there are ~1000 subcategories of computer programmers.

I'm curious: what about other careers? Are there fewer categories? Do they all do the same type of math? etc.
