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?
What about it? Efficiency analysis is a BUSINESS concept, cost control, etc. If one makes the claim that just because math might be used in a field of endeavor the entire field belongs in the math department there would be no need for anything BUT the math department. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
