I have a CS degree. People always overstate the math needed for getting a job. AFAIC, if you take one semester of calculus, one semester of statistics, and one semester of linear algebra, they you’ve got enough math for 95% of all the computer jobs out there. Unfortunately, most schools still follow the traditional, math-heavy curriculum that was formed back when CS was a major administered by the math departments of many schools.
