Chapter V: Computation | The Philosophy Of Science by Steven Gussman [1st Edition]
"Some authors such as Konrad Lorenz, John Barrow, Jürgen Schmidhuber and Stephen Wolfram have gone as far as suggesting that the laws of nature are both computable and finite like a cellular automaton or computer simulation." – Max Tegmark I Computer science (which may as well be called computer mathematics) is necessary for a full understanding of both math and science, and it further ties in engineering. This is because, even for students who do well in math classes, it can sometimes be unclear why they are performing the rules and calculations they are performing. By placing the coder in the role of god, computer programming allows one to see how they might reverse engineer the world, which in turn makes them better at discovery on the other side of things in...
