>Like if you were pushing out liberal arts majors without any grammar courses.

I would expect very few liberal arts majors (who aren't majoring in linguistics) would take a grammar course.

Linear algebra is actually sort of interesting. Before computers were commonplace I'm not sure how widely taught linear algebra was. I certainly never took it but was admittedly not a CS/EE major. I do remember a robotics course I took in grad school that involved doing these ugly matrix operations by hand. (No Matlab.)
