You can like computer engineering without mathematics, but not computer science ! Good post ! Hilarious, especially "Give me C", "I know 14 languages" and "/*Function call*/' Good ones ! :) “I like computer science, but I don’t like mathematics”

Our computer science prof. gives us notes (we\\\'re supposed to take them down verbatim, he says) with bits like, \\\'it would be nice if\\\' in definitions. What is this? Hansel and Gretel? @sindhu: Thank you :) As for the second bit: Quite true. That post was written in a crabby mood which was why I was nitpicking on the definition of Computer Science which includes stuff like analysis of computational complexity (which I find very interesting, it\\\'s good stuff) and <i>not just</i> programming. Computer programming, on the other hand, is just programming in a specific language solving specific problems. An engineer is not a physicist, a programmer is not a computer scientist. Maybe it\\\'s a subjective thing, ah well. I did pretty well in the end without studying anything.
