As far as your statement on K-12 being a problem, this topic has been discussed widely (read is a key concern) in the ACM. Here's a resource: http://csta.acm.or

- tsally 18y agoYeah, I've been pretty happy with the ACM's response in regards to Computer Science. Math on the other hand, is a completely different beast. At least with CS there is an easy profession like game programming that students can relate and aspire to. No similar profession exists in the mind of a kid for Math that has the same appeal.
- blogimus 18y agoThat's interesting, I find myself in the opposite environment. I've worked with many more mathematicians than CS grads. It might just be the environments I'm in.
- jimbokun 18y agoMath could conceivably be better preparation for game programming than Computer Science.
- tsally 18y agoIt actually is. But not in the mind of a kid. :)
