Thank you for this book. There is a huge need for this.

It saddens me that schools may be handing out CS degrees without having first required students to at least have taken linear algebra, multivariable calculus, and discrete math that covers basic counting, sets, graphs and groups. How can this be?

Probability and statistics should also be a required part of every CS program.

/shrug misaligned incentives probably. Schools are also handing out CS degrees without students being all that good at writing programs either.
