Well, that's actually a relief to hear - somewhat. The computer science program here requires the equivalent to a minor in math. In fact, with 2 more courses, one could have a double major. Calc 1, 2, 3, Diff Q, and Probability are required. Yea, from my work experience with Windows, I don't think someone who makes a min larger than a max has much math background...
