Statistics can be important for many areas of CS like machine learning and artificial intelligence. To do statistics well requires Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra. I would do Calc3 before I’d do diffEq. I fail to see why a CS major needs to take diffEq. It’s just about the the dryest area of math I can think of. I would delay it as long as possible and hope that Michigan wises up and changes the curriculum. Linear algebra, on the other hand, is one of if not the most useful and certainly one of the most beautiful.
