Define "computer scientist". Computer science is a big field but those parts of computer science that I have learned have been heavily underpinned by mathematics, especially those parts concerned with analysing the correctness and complexity of algorithms. Having said that, I personally waved goodbye to academic computer science after I finished my degree. I work as a software engineer and I find software engineering to be very different discipline to computer science. While mathematics has proven useful to me on occasion, I'm of the opinion that I'd be able to do much of what I do day to day without much in the way of advanced mathematics. Much, but not all. When one encounters certain types of problems, for example problems around performance, I find it helpful to be at least _acquainted_ with mathematical tools that can help, even if my mathematical chops are not as strong as they used to be.
