In my original article What Should Computer Scientists Teach to Physical Scientists and Engineers? [CS&E Summer '96, p. 46], I proposed a one-week course on software tools to close gap between computers are used by most scientists and engineers, and they ought to be used. Briefly put, three responses in this issue are the problem should be solved in a different way (Jessup and Giles), the problem can't be solved in a week (McQueeney), and teach them Mathematica (Issaevitch). Wilson addresses each response, and his agreements and disagreements with them.
