Hi Monks,

Just a couple of thoughts...

Why is it that most books on algorithms use mathematics to explain the underlying concepts? Are there no other way of explaining the concepts?

A while ago, I saw a job ad in the paper looking for a Programmer with Perl and MySQL experience. A couple of weeks later, the same ad appeared but this time round, the requirements say: Degree in Computer Science or Mathematics.

Any thoughts?

Update: Thanks to all for the sharing :)
