The question was specific to *kernel* development. Look around. Does Linus have a PhD? How many people at the last Kernel Plumber's or Kernel Summit have PhDs? I'm willing to bet that there's very few PhD's in CS listed in MAINTAINERS. And those that are, are probably coincidental... > If you hope to do anything that is not elementry, you need serious math > for the algorithms, not to mention to complete the jobs being done. > > Knowing math is the real key to unlocking to potential of the power of > computational mathmatics. If you're doing that sort of mathematics *inside the kernel*, there's probably something wrong with your overall design. Just sayin'.
