I agree. In pretty much all of my theoretical computer science courses, whenever it came to the math there always seemed to be a lot of hand-waving and noise, but not a lot of content. Some were better than others, but when I consider some of the scores I got on tests (much too high!) for basically just puking up random math formulas, I was beginning to suspect that the TAs (and possibly the professors) didn't understand this stuff much better than I did.
