This is why I love comp sci. I hated math all through undergrad and only started to love it when I got much deeper into my career. I’m bad at calculations and find them tiring.
A beautiful, well written bit of code has a lot in common with a beautiful formula. And it has the huge advantage that the computer does all the tedious, error prone number crunching for me! That way I can focus just on the beauty of all the errors in my methodology, not my execution.
Yeah, mathematicians often end up having to do bunch of messy calculations by hand, just to find nice patterns. I am envious computer scienctists can avoid that ;P
