The SICP course, hailed by many as the single-best introduction to Computer Science, focuses on » methods to 'control complexity.' The MIT professors who designed the course (Abelson & Sussman) both come from a background in Electrical Engineering, which obviously influenced their conceptualization of the course. In other words, it seems they applied the techniques associated with Computer Science to...
