Computers and mathematics


    "The highly abstract quality of computers makes it easy to introduce mathematics into the study of their theory-and has led some to the erroneous conclusion that, as a computer science emerges, it will necessarily be a mathematical rather than an empirical science."
    -- Herbert Simon, The Natural and Artifical Worlds

Amen.
