there is an amusing diatribe through the physicists about=20
who was the greatest physicist of all time: Newton or Einstein.=20
Someone says that was Newton, because he developed by=20
himself the math he needs to give us the Theory of Gravitation,
instead Einstein used the math of nineteenth century.=20
 Well even if it is so, Einstein was really really great at math.

I didn't say you have to be great at math to be a pretty good DBA,=20
but the importance of math in computer science it is a fact.

Sorry if I have offended someone.

Best regards.
