I wish that more schools offered "X for Y" classes to foster basic literacy in relevant areas of study. I'd love a "Math for {Game,Control System} Programmers" or "Architecture for Game Designers".

Don't all game programming courses already include extensive maths classes?

Curriculums? In my experience yes. Unfortunately connecting those classes to the things you're going to be doing is usually an exercise left to the reader.

It's usually "here's some linear algebra and calc" but not "this thing you're doing here comes from this model and here's how we got here"
