<p>Algorithms would still be required of any respectable CS major. And that’s “harder” than any calculus course I could imagine.</p>
<p>And most people find linear algebra and statistics “easy”. These are not weed-out classes.</p>
<p>Still, I don’t think it’s fair to call yourself a computer scientist if you do not have a basic understanding of the ideas of calculus. Just like any Political Scientist worth his salt will know basic history… moreso than the average educated adult.</p>
<p>(Calculus actually puts you in that category for math).</p>
