Math and the Computer Science Major | Lineman.Net.  [originally captured 2005-05-10:16 -0700]  This is a nice article from a mathematics teacher.  I can't dispute anything said here about the value of mathematics in computer science.  My own experience is similar, even though it was gained extracurricularly.  (For calibration, my high-school mathematics touched on calculus but there was no calculus or pre-calculus class in those pre-Sputnik days.  I went right into calculus as a college freshman, also studying free-hand drafting and other topics in late-50's science.  There were no collegiate computer courses available where I was.)
