Corliss's weekly schedule . Two semesters of calculus, programming proficiency. The mathematicians sometimes fear they are at a disadvantage because the computer scientists might program better. The computer scientists sometimes fear they are at a disadvantage because the mathematicians may know more mathematics. The intention is that you learn to cooperate and use one another's strengths at the same time you grow in areas where you are weaker.
Computers are fundamental tools for nearly everyone.
Mathematics is NOT done with pencils any more, either. Mathematicians should expect to make heavy use of computers as tools in their work. For the practicing computer systems analyst, whatever you know is never enough. Mathematical skills belong in your tool kit. Many computer problems involve serious mathematical modeling.
