Episode Summary

Join Allen Helton and Jeremiah Dunham as they explore math in the world of computer science. Do developers use it as much as they thought they would or is it abstracted away to a point where we have no idea? What if there was a way to use math to prove the correctness of your code instead of writing unit tests? Guess what? It’s possible. Tune into the episode as Allen and Jeremiah talk about the future of testing and exactly how you can (or can’t) guarantee your code does what you expect it to.
