>Since my writing is so 'succinct', maybe I wasn't clear! If CS wants to take a field like network flows for their own, then actually do a competent job of it and don't mess it up

I really hope you were being sarcastic when referring to your writing as succinct. Anyway, who is claiming anything for their own? If some problem in CS leads to some new result in operations research, then a paper will be published in a nice operations research journal, and everyone will be happy. If the math is not good enough, the paper will not be published, and the author will have to rework it. Now maybe your claim is that CS journals with a focus on operations research are not sufficiently rigorous to your taste, but that's a different matter altogether.

>Okay, then you would agree with my thought on this thread that the math departments should just take over CS!

No, I don't. Firstly, CS is in itself a branch of maths, but in practice, most of the stuff that CS people do is of basically no interest to pure mathematicians, and vice-versa. Hence, I don't see any point in having a math department take over a CS department. Secondly, there are many things that normally fall within the purview of CS departments which are not at all related to maths (in any meaningful, abstract way), such as OSs, computer architecture courses, software engineering, compilers, etc. While all of those have a basis in maths, they certainly don not belong under a maths department. Of course it could be argued that there should be some "Applied CS department" or "Software Engineering" department or some such that would take those courses and research areas out of the "Pure CS" field, but that would end up doing a disservice to students and researchers alike.

>For the paper I sent, I sent it to an appropriate journal.

Sorry, but I disagree. If none of the reviewers, and none of the editors, or anyone they knew was able to understand your paper, either you wrote something incomprehensible, or you submitted it to the wrong venue. I don't doubt that you're a math genius who rocks measure theory and functional analysis, but I find it hard to believe that it an on-topic paper flew over the head of all the editorial staff and reviewers in any given area.

>You are agreeing with my main point that CS should clean up its math

Only up to a point. Better maths in CS research could be an improvement, as long as it doesn't veer into non-CS areas just for the sake of doing maths. I don't agree at all that CS students should master mostly unrelated areas of pure maths, though, as there are much more relevant issues within CS (plus its "applied" branches) and only so much time students can spend at the university.

>For the course of study I outlined, what important about CS does that omit! I know; I know; it omits heap sort! And AVL trees. Gee, looks like that course of study needs more, maybe a lecture, maybe even two, of an hour each?

I would think Donald Knuth would be in disagreement with you there. Also, your suggested program veered into pure maths for things that are 99.99999% out of scope in CS, while neglecting seemingly all applications of CS.

Also, I called you arrogant because that's how you come through in your writing. As I said, I don't doubt you're a very gifted mathematician, but from what you just wrote here, I think your grasp of actual CS topics is not so great.
