Programming is <<shudder>> _applied_ mathematics.

  Nah. Programming is its own thing. Math is lovely and all, but programming isn't applied mathematics any more than playing the cello is applied physics.

    Sadly as a good physicist and terrible cellist I have to agree.

  The execution of the code is applied mathematics. The creation of the code is doing mathematics.
