I’m old enough to have caught the tail end of CS being an offshoot of the Math department and I had a gaggle of fellow undergrads who were happy ours had been moved to the Engineering college and upset to know other students at other schools who were still in Math. I don’t know about for learning but definitely for collaborating and mentoring. And it’s difficult to make a definition of mastery that excludes both of those, so I suppose after a fashion it’s right. Despite being a professed lover of math, I scored higher on the verbal than the math SAT. There’s a lot of persuasive and descriptive writing in software, particularly if you’re trying to build a team that works smarter instead of finding more corners to cut.
