Math for IT? No. For real computer science? Absolutely. If you don't understand math you can't understand all the cool parts of computer science. 3D - it's all math. AI - from minimax to clustering algorithms: math. Writing CRC and hash algorithms: math. Security in general: math. And it goes on and on. If you know math you can build a raytracer in a weekend, like this guy: http://www.superjer.com/pixelmachine/ http://www.superjer.com/pixelmachine/ Really, who wants to build CRUD (DB create/retrieve/update/destroy) applications his whole life?
