During my time as a student I felt that the computer science department should have been split into two disticnt programs. The first program should have existed in the math department dealing with the theory and mathematics of computation. The other should have been in the engineering school and focused more on actual computers. Hardware, software, operating systems, working in a team, designing large systems, etc. I think I would have gotten much more out of that. Instead it seems many universities created “CS lite” programs in their business schools.



Do you realize how much mathematics goes on in the average engineering program?
