Since you're a CS student, i recommend incorporating Mathematica into your studies as much as possible. Especially for your more math-oriented courses. That's how I learned Mathematica as a math major. Anything from checking the prime factors of a number, to visualizing a parametric function, so much more. Couple caveats: Matlab will be more useful for graduate studies and industry (different tool, however). Also, with such a powerful CAS, there's a risk on using it too much and becoming overly reliant on it. Just like any calculator. Use it to check your answers and explore an idea, but don't lose your mathematical intuition by doing all of your thinking with it.
