COSC 072: Computer Science II

``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.'' -M.H. van Emden, Communications of the ACM, 32(12), p. 1498, December 1989.
