Mathematics Video Course
do i need extension 1 mathematics to be a video game programmer/developer?
i’m studying in Australia and i wanna get into Qantm College, but i was wondering if i need Extension 1 maths to enter the course. I’m studying both Advanced and Extension 1 but i’m considering dropping Ext 1 as a subject. if i don’t do Ext 1 but do well (band 5/6) in Advanced do i still have a chance of getting in?
Also, the website said Maths is only necessary for the Programming course, not the Designing course so i was wondering if that was true and would completing HSC Industrial Technology: Multimedia increase my chances (because i have a portfolio of my work)?
Thank You 
I really appreciate any answers (i really want to enter the gaming industry)
I was looking into a similar kind of course. When it comes to game design, that is basically you knowing the fundamentals of what makes a game work and fun to play. You wouldn’t any particular math skills for a course like that. Programming on the other hand, usually schools ask that you have a good understanding of calculus. Partly because the math would help with the coding itself, partly because the problem solving aspect of programming is supposed to be similar to that in calc. Hope that helps. So if your not big on math, I say go with the design degree, that’s what I am planning on going for.
