How do EE and CE/CS help society?

so you'd be still living in early 1900s

How is this even a question you fucking silly billy

EE gave us a lot of methods and infrastructure to harness electricity into modern technology. CE is the subset of EE that focuses on applications of such methods to computing technology. CS is the study and theory of problems related to computation, and many times we can spin pure problems into ways to solve real world applications. These applications are as simple as using basic combinatorics to analyze sorting algorithms to throwing simplexes and topology at asynchronous tasks

OH NONO NO NO NO NO NO BRUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH

just go back to "coding" in java you glorified code monkey

enumerative combinatorics is a ridiculously popular class even among non-math stem students, what are you talking about? Now if you were talking about generating functions / analysis / analytic combinatorics, you'd have more of a point

I majored in math you dumbfuck. I do research

>>studying basic combinatorics
basic combinatorics isn't hard. If you're doing Lovasz or any given Hungarian tradition in combo, then yes it's difficult, but combinatorics is by far one of the most accessible yet inherently useful subfields of mathematics. Given that it's common for modern combinatorics, graph theory, and number theory papers to have CS researchers on their author list, what makes you think CS majors don't study these subjects?

really weird why ted choose the industrial revolution as the starting point of where things went wrong. if anything its the agricultural revolution. civilization creates problems which can only be solved by technology which creates more problems that can only be solved by technology (something Ted himself admitted).

For some reason my university requires computer engineers to take classes on combinatorics and discrete mathematics but doesn't make computer scientists do the same.
Glad I'll be out of here in a year.
