In my current university, computer science professors do teach the math courses for computer science students, because they are separate from those for math students, or physics or... There are even courses (not sure if math's related though) which are taught together by professors from different departments. | |

| Nov 21, 2017 at 2:11 | comment | added | Kimball | @Miguel What about this is country dependent? Are there any countries where you wouldn't be allowed to teach a course in your department because of what your degree says? | |
| Nov 20, 2017 at 23:03 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | I do this at a fairly large community college in NYC. | |
| Nov 20, 2017 at 16:15 | comment | added | Rick Decker | Answer: Yes, that's what I've been doing for thirty-odd years. | |
| Nov 20, 2017 at 15:11 | comment | added | MSalters | Computational physicists probably have it even worse. | |

| Nov 20, 2017 at 3:46 | comment | added | nengel | Don't mathematics departments also offer "programming for mathematicians" courses and the like? And inversely, CS departments offer math courses. I definitely remember my undergraduate math for CS and my graduate convex optimization classes being taught by CS profs. | |

| Nov 19, 2017 at 16:41 | comment | added | Miguel | @Nat IMHO real geniuses do not look down on teaching. Any undergrad can teach but when you read or listen to an oustanding researcher it makes a difference. | |
| Nov 19, 2017 at 14:11 | comment | added | Nat | It's interesting that someone'd be interested in multiple teaching duties; I'd often felt that teaching duties were sort of a chore, while academics are more likely to be interested in research. I mean there's no technical barrier; even half the undergrads in STEM fields could teach Calculus I without breaking a sweat. | |

| Nov 19, 2017 at 10:43 | comment | added | Miguel | Also I wonder if you mean if a professor can or may teach... The question suggests the latter, while the title mentions the former. | |
| Nov 19, 2017 at 10:39 | comment | added | Miguel | Strongly country (or even institution) dependant. In Spain, yes, there are Universities where Calculus is assigned to the Computer Science department (knowledge area is the legal term). And no, technically you do not require a specific degree to teach whatever. | |
