The only two things from this list that I studied were biology and statistics. The only one I studied with any amount of rigor was statistics, and even that was pretty light. I use none of these in my career software except for some intuition-level statistics on rare occasions. In fact, I use statistics more when I play board games in my free time than I ever do at work. Your comment doesn't reflect the reality of writing software for what I imagine is the vast majority of people who have CS degrees.
