Looks like something you'd find at some no-name technical college in Germany and not a top university. Where's the linear algebra, multivariate calculus, real analysis, differential equations, graph theory, abstract algebra, numerical mathematics, stochastics, etc.? Those are all required courses in my degree with additional options in complex analysis, functional analysis, topology, measure theory and so on. How are they planning to do those robotics or machine learning classes without the mathematical prerequisites in linear algebra, differential equations and optimization? It looks more like a vocational training program to me. No self-respecting university here would offer courses on "mobile development" or "web development". Even for analysis of algorithms you need basic calculus which apparently isn't part of the high school curriculum in the US (although we can assume that everyone who makes it to Stanford would've taken AP classes).

Math classes are taught by the Math department.
