I don’t think it’s that hard to double on on Math classes if you’re good at math and don’t fall behind. I’ve had 3 math and 2 physics classes (plus GE class) during one semester before. Usually Calc1-3 are much more work intensive than LI, DE or Discrete. For me, personally, the difficuly was in this order:

Calc3

Calc1

Calc2

DE

Linear Algebra

Discrete Math

As a CS major you should be good at Linear Algebra and Discrete Math, these are the important classes for you. I’m a Computer Engineering major, so maybe that’s why these two were the easiest ones for me. But I know people for who LI/Discrete Math is much harder than Calc, it really depends on the personality. Try to find out as early as possible and then double up on what you’re good at.

Physics is usually more difficult (and work-intensive) than Math and you shouldn’t double up on it (I don’t even know if you need it for L&S, but I need it for EECS). When I had 2 Physics and 3 Math classes in one semester, I think the Physics took more than 70% of my time.

Hope that helps
