Well good luck with it. I studied math also in college and have gravitated over the years towards foundations (logic, types, etc..) from my work in programming.

Well good luck with it. I studied math also in college and have gravitated over the years towards foundations (logic, types, etc..) from my work in programming. I consider programming a form of applied math. I think of mathematics as a natural science. I"m looking forward to this series of articles in the Times, hopefully is will make what mathematicians do more accessible to non-mathematicians
