[Discuss] OT: Do CS grads need calculus?

[Daniel Barrett]

Math... definitely.  Calculus? Probably not.

Programmers will definitely benefit from learning algebra, geometry,
graph theory, and combinatorics. Maybe some probability & statistics
too. Any of these subjects can teach you to be rigorous and precise as
well as calculus can.

Personally, I haven't used calculus in three decades. OTOH, there are
certainly domains of programming that require explicit knowledge of
calculus to solve problems.
