What math have you learned?

In university I studied Algebra and Calculus 1 and 2. Thankfully the computer science department had just dropped the requirement for any higher math by the time I was taking Calc 2, so I could stop there. Oh, I guess I should count Computer Science data algorithms as well. That was a freakin pain in the ass too.

I am surprised they didn't make you take an introductory Linear Algebra (arrays/multidimensional lists are pretty much just matrices) and a Discrete Mathematics/Number Theory course. Both seem quite necessary for computer science. A proof-based class would also help (where you learn things like proof by induction, which would help a lot when learning recursion and functional programming, for example.) Although maybe you learned some of these things in your "data algorithms" course. 

Discrete was the requirement they had dropped. I took multiple Algrebra classes, but I don't remember their distinct names. And the data algorithms was a proof based class. That was one of the 3 final classes I took right before graduation. So very difficult.
