Its already been decided. Virtually every university world wide has yanked computers, programming, and systems analysis out of math departments and created Computer Science departments.
By and large they were forced to do this by funding reasons, when business communities started demanding IT workers that were attuned to getting the business done rather than proving some obscure theorem.
This differs from university to university. At my university, the department I was in, known as computer science ('datalogi' in Swedish) dealt with theoretical stuff, understanding algorithmic theory, analysing and proving stuff There were other departments, one I remember was called Informatics, which were more into the practical results and took shortcuts across the more theoretical aspects But I know other places around there which packed everything into the Comp. Sci. department, both the theoretical and the "instant business programmer" type courses --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
