Computers are powerful tools for mathematicians, and programming them also involves a great deal of mathematics. Large numbers of graduate mathematicians make a career in the computing industry. The first two articles listed here show how maths is used to help design software, and then how a computer can be used to help solve a mathematical problem. The discussions are not sorted as yet.
