What do you prefer doing? Yes, I realize that these are, at points, two very intertwined disciplines, and that you probably end up doing a lot of both. Think of it like this: if you were to write a contest tomorrow, would you prefer it to be a computer science contest, or a mathematics contest? |

Well considering this is a compsci site, i think compsci may win this one........ |

Math, because I do better in math contests than I do in compsci contests. |

lets combine math and compsci....... ya know those T1-83 PLus graphing calculators... some 1 should a turing version of one? |

wow like i said before, please do at least a bit of research before you say anything because everytime u talk, u prove to be an idiot, turing is compiled for windows based operating systems.. thus the name winoot. the Ti series use their own simple low level programming language/asm, so it would not be possible to "install" turing on them |

I'm pretty sure he was talking about making a graphinc calculator kind of program with Turing. Which isn't a terriblly innovative idea either. As for the topic at hand, I voted for computer science (shock). But I'd be really surprised if most of the massey people don't vote math. |

I had to vote for comp-sci, but math is a very close second. |

Compsci is more fun. Math will get me farther in life. Voted compsci |

I voted compsci, I seem to have more luck with tests on that .
Besides, I've been using programming since before I could multply. |

CS!!! Hmm... Haven't done the Euclid yet, but I thought CCC was cake compared to those M/C Waterloo math contests. (though cake is somewhat hard nonetheless, if you fry it  ) |

I voted Math becaues when you talk about a contest I am more confident in my math abilities then my compsci (I have been doing math a hell of a lot longer than compsci) However I agree that compsci is more fun. |

Definately CS ... its much more interesting ... to me anyway, Math is too difficult to remember (especially if you dont study)  |

to add to this topic, my math class is all nice and easy and cozy, but in CS we are forced to learn UNIX in one day and today we are forced to learn MIPS (assembly language)... the math profs actually make everything makes sense... but CS... they just expect you to know all those stuff! |

What CS course are you taking? Assembly language is fun to hack around with. |

241/251, yeah they are fun if you know what you are doing... but when they ask you to build a compiler out of it... |

Do they have an emulator for you to do it on, or do you have to use the labs for the entire project? |
