But he doesn't really talk about how much math he thinks a CS course should have. I personally think a few weeks might be a good idea. Many months of math takes time away from other CS parts. He writes that maths helps you get better at abstract thinking, which I agree with, but he don't compare to other CS areas. For example, if studying compilers or data strcutures help you think abstract then we can perhaps have a compiler/data structure course instead of a math course. This would help students learn both abstract thinking and something directly CS related. I think we can all agree that having only math for four years would make great abstract thinkers but probably very bad developers.
