I can somewhat agree with this. I used to do a lot of computer graphics work professionally. My degree was in electrical engineering, and it was the controls and robotics classes that taught me the necessary math background to work with computer graphics. Related rant: Many university educated computer scientists think that all the math that they learned was 'invented' specifically for computer science, when in fact it existed long before computers were around. I once got into a heated argument at a Siggraph party with a guy who actually claimed to be the 'inventor' of quaternions.
