I really enjoyed this article and the comments so far. I struggled with math heavily in high school and in college and believed I wasn't fit for programming despite being a 'computer head' since I was a kid. I never struggled with statistics, I felt like it was the 'easy' math and now work in analytics at a large investment firm and do scripting and analysis with the big databases. I don't think I'd excel at creating the databases I work with but I understand them and my ability with java and R and SAS and python have helped me be more efficient and a leader in the group. My understanding of other math has come a long way since university with real tangible examples, I just don't learn from abstract examples I think. I don't think there is a right answer here, I think there are enough opportunities in the field for there to be two branches of computer science much like there are two sides of business schools. The hardcore finance path and the businesss communication people tease so much.
