Yes, but the author mentions a lot of other stuff - I think the OP of this comment was just trying to trim out some superfluous topics.
- arethuza 7y agoWho is to say that a particular topic is superfluous though - I did a maths heavy CS degree and that has helped a lot with subsequent work in engineering and finance.
- hatboat 7y agoBecause the article's title specifically states that every CS major should know those topics. Should every CS major know formal methods, AI, robotics... ? Yes the heavy math you took was very helpful (and I personally agree as someone who did a CS heavy math degree), however as stated above the list should really be a minimum requirement. Anything extra is superfluous.
- greggyb 7y agoGP of comment says: > I learned most of the topics mentioned in this document while in school, and although they are all valid, they are not enough for real world needs. Emphasis is mine. I do not know how to interpret the emphasized part except as an indication that GP thinks OP skipped the listed topics. I was simply pointing out the overlap between GP's additions and OP's original list.
