Again, this is NOT CS this is stuff that can be bolted on (just like I am doing). It's a net waste of time for everyone to make these things mandatory. I'd say that from the math and science classes here I've taken I remember nothing. From the things I've needed, banged my head against the wall for hours to learn and implement, and then used for a real project I still remember. This is about 3-4 years after learning the material on my own as opposed to learning the other material last semester.
The only thing that's useful is something that you actually remember and use. That's one of the hugest reasons why most of these math courses are useless garbage. I just see it as a way to suck money out of students.
