Idempotence is an extremely important computer science technique, in the design of transaction processing and database integrity. A number of the mathematical topics, created do have computer science, and since the concept is often taught in the "discrete mathematics" course delivered by computer science departments, I'd hate to do an artificial separation by disambiguation pages about different applications of the same concept.

- Well, I feel inlined to say "Just do it". Start off with sections "Idempotence in Mathematics" and "Idempotence in Computer Science", write what you want to write, add a sentence to the introduction and then take it from there. Let's see what happens? Richard Pinch 19:46, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
