Why is it that all major advances in CS and real world programming

breakthrough in medicine is not discovered by doctors either, what is your problem?

Most fields can get stuck researching their own ways for so long it gets hard to discover something new.

Because a degree doesn't make you smart. It just means you paid enough money and did enough homework to get a slip of paper. Those people are actually intelligent, unlike you. Please continue down your path and drop all of your studies because of a few guys who did something different

Are you retarded? Most of the advances within CS is by CS people.

Ever read an algorithm paper by anyone but a computer scientist? I mean yeah ok, 40 years ago a lot of the advances was by people from other fields because cs wasn't established but it is now.

>Ever read an algorithm paper by anyone but a computer scientist

Yeah his name was Edsger Dijkstra and he had a PhD in theoretical physics.

No you haven't read his paper, fuck off. Someone asking something this stupid won't be able to parse mathematical expressions.

Again, that was before CS was established. Now CS is churning out paper after paper by computer scientists. Ritchie and Dijkstra as much as I love them will become more and more the exception rather than the rule.

I get your point, but I don't think he's talking about papers. He means successful people.

>Why is it that all major advances in CS and real world programming have been done by people without CS degrees?

They haven't....do you even know what the ACM and IEEE are ? There members are responsible for pretty much every single thing computer related.

>>I am tempted to stop any formal CS study at all and just study maths and being a code monkey. This seems the optimum path.

CS is a math degee though.

Most CompSci graduates can't even solve differential equations when they're done with the degree.

If by successful you mean made a lot of money, you don't need to be an expert in any field to do that. You just have to be a smart entrepreneur or business person.

>>59098928
Not entirely, there's a lot of dual research now where a mathematician sits with a CS grad student and they make crazy AI or ML shit.

>>59098815
This until about 25 years ago a cs guy was just a mathematician that liked machines.

Half my profs were phds in math not cs. That will change though as ai and quantum computing gets bigger

>>59099031
Can they code the solution though?

Many math graduates also can't solve differential equations, calculus is a small and uninteresting corner of math for mathematicians. (pretty much everything about them have been found) it's mostly only used by engineers and in physics.
