I’m not entirely sure of that. You can’t have comp sci without algebra and potentially calculus. I could see a society that developed all three fields before they codified Physics
What kind of argumentation is this? Are we talking about mechanical engineering or computer science? Please don’t bent reality the way it fits your shape.
I know what mechanical computers are. But computer scientists will not be building them 'nor program them, it’s not what computer science is about when you go to a university to study it.
I presented a hypothetical, and showed how it could work. You’re the one insisting that there’s only one way to do things. You’re being Western Centric.
I’m well aware of what you study when you study computer science, I majored in that and Music Ed at Transylvania University.
How do you have computer science without calculus? Calculus is literally necessary for computer science, otherwise it’d just be like… shitty statistics with a little programming
as far as i can tell, the ones that do that are usually just programming courses with “computer science” slapped onto the title. but i havent exactly gone to many colleges so i don’t have the experience to say so.

Do you really think people could make programmable microchips and processing units before they figured out physics?
No, but mechanical computers existed before microchips. They just weren’t terribly useful
Once I get my mechanical computer to run crysis we’ll see who’s laughing.

It would be inelegant as all fuck, but you could get away with just algebra, there are comp sci courses that only need algebra as the foundation.
