Re: The role of math education in CS

As much as it pains me to agree with you, computer *scientist* => Math.
If someone wants to be a non-engineer/non-scientist "programmer",
that's fine too. They should enroll in the proper program instead of
complaining about being trained as a proper engineer/scientist.
