in thread What??? You wanna learn math?
Eh, I'll add my $.02 (hehe).
I think that the best math in computer science is the REALLY "outlandish" stuff, that you'll NEVER see in other fields. I love toying with Automata and Computation Theory problems. Nothing like a Turing Machine to make your day complete. And that is as MATHY as it gets, though it certainly doesn't feel like math was in high school, I didn't love math so much in HS... Not because of the teachers and all, but because I was taking the area of triangles just a bit more often than I care to think of.
