Exactly! Keith Devlin also made this point in an article (from 2003) in Communications of the ACM called "Why universities require computer science students to take math" (pdf) ftp://ftp.gunadarma.ac.id/.upload/Communication-ACM/September-2003/p36-devlin.pdf Sample quote: "Once you realize that computing is all about constructing, manipulating, and reasoning about abstractions, it becomes clear that an important prerequisite for writing (good) computer programs is the ability to
handle abstractions in a precise manner." |
