CS may be mathematics but programming certainly isn't

If you're discussing pure CS, the thing you can write down in a book and for which a computer is a largely theoretical device, sure CS is mathematics.

If we're talking about the practical reality that CS majors in America today are trying to achieve, and their undergraduate programs are trying to prepare them for, that's becoming a working programmer and has very little relation to mathematics.

I wish we'd just start issuing software engineering degrees so it would be easier to get an actual computer science education.
