Here I will tell you practical stuff where I have encountered Mathematics in solving some Computing Problems (particularly in Internet domain) :
- Search Engines uses Vector Calculus for searching data.
- Matrix Factorization can be used for a lot of stuff like Sentiment Analysis.
- You need to know Calculus, Summations for figuring out complexity of code that you write.
- Probability is heavily used in Probabilistic Information Retrieval/Search
- Naive Bayes Theorem is used in Predictive Analytics.
- You need to know stuff like hyper plane etc for a concept called SVM which is again used in Machine Learning for solving categorization problems.
- You need to understand Entropy for doing Natural Language Processing stuff.
- Latent Semantic Indexing/ Principal Component Analysis used by Search Engines relies heavily on matrix algebra. & so on......
