Given the simple fact that mathematics forms the foundation of computing, mathematics must play a meaningful role in the computer science program. This meaningful role, however, must be substantially less, in content, than a second major. We must avoid the extreme of little or no mathematics in the curriculum. We must, at the same time, avoid the excess of too much mathematics.
