Abstract
In this paper we explore CS students' perception of the relationship between computer science and mathematics. It is widely accepted by educators and researchers that the study of mathematics is an essential part of the CS curriculum. We were surprised to discover that many of our CS students believed that no relationship or dependence exists between computer science and mathematics. We establish that many of our CS undergraduates do not believe that mathematical reasoning and problem solving skills are necessary for success in computer science. Furthermore, we will show that this anti-symbiotic stereotype is harmful to student's success in computer science.
