You can see that computer science is an applied science. A mathematics professor would have given a proof that such an algorithm exists or, more likely, that algorithms exist for solving several more general problems, and left it at that.

And unless you were especially lucky, the existence proof would be non-constructive.

I still hope, that somebody finds a non-constructive proof for P=NP.
