> #ComputerScience is a terrible name for this business. First of all, it's not a science.. It's also not really very much about computers.. in the same sense that physics is not.. about particle accelerators, and biology is not.. about microscopes and petridishes.. geometry is not .. about using surveying instruments.. #Geometry originally meant measuring the Earth or surveying.. it's very easy to confuse the essence of what you're doing with the tools that you use.

That led to the axiomatic method.. #ModernMathematics
