Michael Crichton's essay in the New York Times attempts a thoughtful summary of Metabolite's primary assertion: they not only own the connection between homocysteine levels in the blood and vitamin B12 deficiency, but also any thought connecting the two."

I'm 2002 Rutgers-New Brunswick grad who double majored in CS and Math. No way are those the only math classes you need for the degree.
