Mathematics in the Curricula

摘要

Please take a few minutes to read Tony Ralston's excellent editorial "Do We Need ANY Mathematics in Computer Science Curricula?" in this issue of inroads. His editorial, in conjunction with another excellent document "Computing Curricula 2004 Overview Report", are very timely. Tony talks about the historical perspective of mathematics in CS/SE education and direction in which we might head. The CC2004 Overview Report presents the current state of curricula for computing disciplines. Both complement and reinforce each other in several ways.
