	The Cruelty of Really Teaching Computer Science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		“The Cruelty of Really Teaching Computer Science” is a 1988 paper by E.
		Dijkstra, which argues that computer programming should be understood as a branch of mathematics, and that the formal provability of a program is a major criterion for correctness.
		Despite the title, most of the article is on Dijkstra’s attempt to put computer science into a wider perspective within science, teaching being addressed as a corollary at the end.

		Bureau of Labor Statistics counts 675,000 computer software engineers holding jobs in the U.S., and there are estimated to be about one-and-a-half million practitioners in the E.U. Asia, and elsewhere; these figures are about 60% of the number of practitioners engaged in traditional engineering.
		As the term embodying the advocacy of a specific approach to computer programming, one that urges that it be treated as an engineering profession rather than an art or a craft, and advocates the codification of recommended practices in the form of software engineering methodologies.
		About half of all practitioners today have computer science degrees, which are the most relevant degrees that are widely available.

	Software engineering
		Software engineering (SE) is the profession concerned with creating and maintaining software applications by applying technologies and practices from computer science, project management, and other fields.
		When it is cheaper to run a business or agency with software applications than without, businesses and agencies often invest in computers, software, and personnel.
		; Branch of computer science : Many believe that software engineering is a part of computer science, because of their close historical connections and their relationship to mathematics.
