- mjlee 7y agoI'm British and "codes" sounds very odd to me in this context. Maths retains its s because it's an abbreviation of the plural noun mathematics.
- jey 7y agoWhat is a "mathematic" as a singular noun? I only know of "mathematic" as an adjective.
- thebruce87m 7y agoI’m British and we say code. “Codes” to me is like nails on a blackboard. The one place I do see “codes” consistently is Indian blogs/vlogs.
- walshemj 7y agoGood way to get your CV dropped in the bin or vice verse to have people ignore or even (put on a do not call list) a potential employer. It reads reads to me from the uk as a "How do you do, fellow kids"
- chrisseaton 7y ago> Good way to get your CV dropped in the bin or vice verse to have people ignore or even (put on a do not call list) a potential employer. Well those people would be missing out because some of the most talented scientists write 'codes'.
- walshemj 7y agoSeeing as my first job was at a world leading RnD organisation in the Math and nuke modeling department (the president of the mechanicals was the boss) I assure you I did not write "codes" nor did the Engineers
- chrisseaton 7y ago> I assure you I did not write "codes" nor did the Engineers Ok.... good for you? Neither do I in academic writing. But many accomplished scientists do. You can look at any HPC conference proceedings right now and see it for yourself.
