Totally agree. Also as I said, the existence of such “IT”-like majors really tainted the otherwise neutral word “IT” so that many in the industry do not want to be associated with that name.
The foundation of CS really rooted in Math. For example, D. E., Knuth in the CS department at Stanford (retired now), who is credited by many to be the person who single-handedly introduced the data structure course into the CS undergrad discipline, and programming in general, is a established applied mathematician.
BTW, anyone here first learned the data structure (he called it information structure, I think) from his book? Or, I am the only one in the dinosaur age who learned this subject from such an old book? (It also helped improve my English reading skill by reading that book, LOL.)
