> More CS, engineering and science students, IMHO, should dabble in math department courses beyond the the usual "required" sequence for their majors That was absolutely not allowed at my faculty (admittely computational linguistics, but I would have massively benefited from math courses). No courses other than the predefined ones, no matter how relevant. Now I have to learn so much afterwards, it's not even funny. |

It's true.
The sad thing is these problems start well before university when high schools pressure students into "advanced" math coursework without demonstrating mastery of previous topics. It builds a shaky foundation and sets the student up for a lot of needless difficulty later on.
Much better to slow down, focus on fundamentals early on and then build breadth in university coursework.
