I actually got started in programming through math. I had never seen a computer and was barely aware of their existence in 10th grade, but I did have Geometry in that grade. I really took to the proofs in Geometry and did pretty well with them. Then a year later, I moved to an area where the schools had computers and had a friend who played with them, so I decided to check it out and found a book on Basic in the library. I was struck at how similar writing programs was to writing proofs, and the rest was history. I guess If I was starting today though, I would start with C. ====================== "That that is, is... for what is that but that? and is but is?"
