Programming is mostly moving stuff around, getting it from here and putting it there. More akin to organizing your closet than math.
I always thought Comp. Sci was a branch of math. What about algorithms and efficiency analysis?
I've never heard of "efficiency analysis", but there is a branch of computer science which deals with the efficiency of algorithms called Complexity Theory. It is - or can be - heavily mathematical. At my university it was simply a part of the computer science department, unaffiliated with the maths department (although it was next door) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
