If you are thinking about a career in cyber or cloud engineering, this video is for you. Many people wonder how much math they need to know for these jobs. I will break it down for you in simple words.

Cyber and cloud engineering are important fields today. They help protect our data and keep our online world running smoothly. But do you need to be a math genius to work in these fields? First, we look at the basic math skill requirements. We talk about things like algebra, statistics, and some basic calculus. Basic math skills are enough to understand the key concepts.

I'll also discuss the importance of problem-solving skills. Math teaches you how to think logically and solve problems. These skills are important in cyber and cloud engineering. You will often face challenges that need creative solutions. You will hear that not everyone was good at math in school, but they still succeeded in their careers.

By the end of this video, you will have a clear idea of the math skills needed for cyber and cloud engineering. You will see that you do not need to be afraid of math. With the right attitude and resources, you can learn the necessary skills.

I worked with Engineers on a daily basis that supports the RHEL infrastructure and tools that they use every day as Linux Admin. 80% of them only use basic Algebra. My own father is a technical fellow which is the highest position you can go up in the Engineering field that worked as a Principal Electrical Engineer for over 30 years rarely ever used calculus through his career. He holds over 40 different patents today. Calculus, differential equations is primarily used in Scientific and Research or A.I specialty roles esp machine learning. You need a strong math background if you are going to be developing Large Language Models and training models.

You finally made this video. Thank you

Wgu software engineering degree doesn't have discrete math anytime. Only applied algebra.

I love this insight as I've often wondered how might advanced math help me in the long run (I don't have it, hence I went for the WGU SWE degree, would have done CS otherwise).

I love the cyber security content and dare say, being subscribed to you has benefited me so far in my less than 1 year experience in IT support. As a SWE student though, I'm curious to see if you have more insight on a potential career roadmap for those interested in the programming side... Or for more relevancy, a potential career in AI?

Thanks again!

I was using a deep nested loop and I asked my senior if it was ok or do we need to flatten it for optimisation, I was told it's ok. I think the reason was the nested loop wasn't crazy long... and even though the complexity in theory was O of 4 if you count all the nests but in practice it wasn't that bad lol

I’ve had to use math as a software engineer when trying to figure out best/avg/worst cases of down times. But it was basic stats

Math and I dont get along. 😅
Never had to use it at work.

Ok I am looking to move into cloud Sec, my list of certs I plan on working toward over the next year are AWS SAA, AWS Dev Associate and Pro, and AWS Sec Maybe some Google cloud stuff as well. Previously I have worked in IT for 18 years in many roles, from help desk, some system admin, some security vulnerability reporting and mitigation. Is it a good path and any suggestions or other things I should look at. Also I already have the CEH as well

❤ so if I were to get the EGU Cloud degree, and considering I got a weak, but lassong "C" in my stats class, but am good ad Finance math, I'd be okay? ❤
