computer science is math
- pas 8y agoengineering is math too, math is eating everything, oh noes! but not really, that's software after all. engineering is applied math, so largely software modeling, whereas CS is theoretical work. abstract problems, pure solutions.
- vonmoltke 8y ago> engineering is applied math It's applied math and applied science. The science informs how to apply the math, since the math is a model of natural phenomena. In fact, most of the math came to engineering via the science.
- threatofrain 8y agoI would argue that CS and type theory explores the very foundations of math.
- 4ad 8y agoNo, math is math, engineering is engineering, and science is science. Engineering and science are not math, even though they use math, and engineering is not science, even though it uses science. They are all very different disciplines.
