Waarom biologie studenten moeten leren programmeren - 3

Bron: Ars Technica

"Science has published a pair of articles in which it's argued that biology education is shortchanging its students by not exposing them to the foundations of the computational tools they now rely on."

• Pevzner and Shamir, Computing has changed biology - biology education must catch up, Science 31 July 2009: Vol. 325. no. 5940, pp. 541 - 542
• Robeva and Lauenbacher, Mathematical biology education: beyond calculus, Science 31 July 2009: Vol. 325. no. 5940, pp. 542 - 543

"If the argument is going to be made that biologists should learn more math and computer science, then those advancing it need to do a better job of explaining what, precisely, biologists need to understand about the computational tools, and why simply knowing how to use the tool isn't good enough."
