What math should most CS majors know but still don't?

Just take a look at the actual content in any undergrad CS discrete math book. It's a complete joke.

Yes, it's a fucking joke what CS majors call hardcore maths.

To get started on the real theory of CS (and not the low level pigeon hole and diagonal argument shit) you need a firm grasp of:

Vector/Multivariate Calculus
ODEs/PDEs
Intro to Proofs
Graph Theory and Combinatorics
Mathematical Logic and Axiomatic Set theory
Real and Complex Analysis
Geometry and Topology
Measure Theory
Probability Theory and Statistics
Fourier and Functional Analysis
Abstract Linear Algebra
Applied Linear Algebra
Abstract Algebra
Numerical Analysis

Clearly, there's no room to actually start studying the material in a 4 year degree. CS should be left solely as a graduate program for those who already have a undergrad degrees in Math/Physics/EE/CompE/Statistics/OR/IE

When did you read Concrete Mathematics or take a class using this as a text?

I'm taking a class using this as a text as an undergrad for CS over this summer. I like it but I'm falling behind because I like to obsess over solving every exercise.
