Computer science? LOL, that's pretty much an inferior math major
Are you suuuuuuure you're in college? You talk like a kid. Case in point ^
Well, their is physically young, and then their is mentally young.

Anyway, I assume a CS degree takes like... a few calc classes, a statistics, maybe 1 or 2 others. That's around... 9-15 credit hours out of lets say 100 total for the degree. Math is a pretty minor part of it. To call it an inferior math degree when they're so different is silly.
It takes much more than that in my university, these are the obligatory math courses:
Calc I-IV, Analysis I, Ordinary Differential Equations, 3 probability and statistics courses, Geometry, "Elemental mathematics" which is basically set theory, functions and the formal treatment of real numbers and two linear algebra courses.
You'd likely take more math courses to complete the credit requierments but you get the idea.

Remember we're talking about a CS major...
That's silly
Well, this guy form India was telling me he took something absurd like 200 credit hours for his undergrad. So maybe some places do that sort of thing.

Hmm, I can see why you'd take so much for "mathematical computing." I wonder if that's difference from computer science. From what I remember talking to CS majors they mostly took computer programming, architecture, systems, stuff like that. I understand why some analysis and statistics would be useful, but I can't imagine how differential equations would be useful if you're going to program computer games for a company for example.

When reviewing openings from GM games, while 4. e3 is played, it isn't played very often, well below 1% (60/68,380). The most common reply is 4. . . . O-O; probably because the "win" rate for Black is 50%. . . . c5 also has a 50% win rate for Black, but isn't used as often (O-O is used 15 times more often). d6 and d5 have also been played, but in GM games played, Black has never gone on to win with either of those moves.
I have never played against e3, but I think I'd play c5, preferring more development while keeping O-O in my back pocket.
A rather pathetic example of fairly stupid people trying, in vain, to prove they are fairly clever. Online equivalent of a bar, filled with idiots, shouting over another. Shameful behaviour.

Where I went, we had to have Calculus I, Calculus II, Discreet Mathematics, and one 300-level or higher class, the majority take Linear Algebra, along with 2 semisters of Physics w/ Calculus, and two other science classes, and the first semister of Quantitive Methods (basically Probability and Stats) was required, and then the second semister of it (Confidence Intervals, Proof by Induction, etc) was one of 3 or 4 options to fill the other slot, and I took QM II.
Tack on the Math Minor and you've got Calculus III, Calculus IV, Differential Equations, Combinatorics (which was replaced in my case with a Graduate Level Probability class w/ Calculus), and Optimization Techniques (That's max/min stuff, like if you have 40 available washers, 30 available dryers, a store with capacity of 50 appliances, 80 hours of labor, a Washer takes 2 hours to stock, a Dryer takes 1 hour, a Washer makes you $300 profit, a dryer makes you $200, what's the max profit that you can make? Answer is $13,000 by shipping 30 washers and 20 dryers into your store).
So yes, 9 math classes, 2 stats classes, 4 science classes including 2 being Physics w/ Calculus, and 53 Computer Science credits to go along with gen-ed garbage, like a semister of English, a semister of history, etc.
And actually, I only had to take 8 math classes, I got credit for Calculus I via the AP exam in highschool.
Yeah, a list like that is more what I'm used to seeing, and I can imagine how all those could be useful in programming to some extent or another.
Although I have to admit this is my first time hearing about calc 4. I'd only heard of 1 through 3. Maybe some places break it up into 4 or go a little further with it.
For me calc3 was, IIRC, working with different shapes (including volumes) and some vector calculus.
It probably is broken in more courses, Calc II (the one I'm taking right now) is just integrals, series and sequences.
Where I went (Winthrop University), Calc I was, in essence, the first half of high school Calculus (Derivitives). Calc II was the second half - Integrals. Calc III was, in essence, Vector Calculus with a little overlap with Differential Equations. Calc IV was multivariable. Double Integrals, Triple Integrals. Rather than finding area under a curve on a 2-d graph, you are finding volume under a 3-d graph. Here is where I could be mixing things as it was the mid-90s when I took those courses, but it was either Calc III or Calc IV (I think IV) where we had 3-D conics. Ellipsoid, Hyperbolic Paraboloid (that's the one that's shaped like a saddle), etc.
You talk like someone who isn't able to properly gauge the age of someone by his writing.
Definitely more than a little possible.
I seem to get it wrong a lot actually.
