Everything here is spot on. Most branches of mathematics do not apply directly to games in the same sense that they apply to sciences, financial analysis and other real-life examples. Games may occasionally be mentioned in passing when applicable, such as using traditional games as examples of probability or the importance of linear algebra and trigonometry in video games. The problem is that the mathematics used in video games aren't introductory. You need to know a lot about these foundations before you can get very far. Chances are, if you are studying them at such a level, you know what role they play.
