Still don't get why you need maths for computer science. Like programming originated in maths or something? Maybe they just use it to filter people out. Seems to work quite well then.
Are you... Serious? Because computers are math machines. That's literally their purpose. If you're programming anything lower level than a JS app then you need to understand what's going on closer to the hardware. CS is a pretty general field and I appreciate the math classes that I've taken so far because I am planning to go into embedded systems and therefore will be actually using a lot of it.
