COSC 071: Computer Science I
Spring 2000
People who know neither programming nor mathematics take for
granted that programming is like mathematics. Yet, it turns out
that English majors are as likely to be as successful at programming
as mathematics graduates are. In practice, the worlds of mathematics
and programming are just about disjoint.
