Computer science is the study of algorithms, information systems and anything that is computable.
Mathematics is the study of formal systems, eg proofs that can be derived from axioms using algorithms, i.e. a specific type of computable system.
Therefore, mathematics is a subset of computer science.
- Retric 13y agoMath includes the study of non computable things. Also, Math includes chaos theory which is more than just a formal system. EX: computable numbers are a subset of all numbers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_number
- RockyMcNuts 13y agomostly kidding. but presumably the theorems about non-computable numbers are computable and therefore you're still working with computable things?
