No, it's just my job title.<BR>
In fact my degree is Mathematics with a Computer Science major.<BR>
<BR>
What? You say!<BR>
<BR>
There's no such thing as Bachelor of Mathematics.<BR>
Well there was at Newcastle University (NSW).<BR>
And when I was their, I believe it was the only uni. offering a degree in Computer Engineering in oz.<BR>
