>Actually, I think that higher math is a very useful discipline. Not because I use it for a lot of practical stuff. But because it taught me how to take a rigorous approach to problem solving.

When I was attending the University of Houston, the Computer Science students would always complain about the Math classes they had to take..."Why do I have to take this? I'll just write a program to solve problems like this!" Best answer I heard was from my Partial Differential Equations prof..."If you don't take this class, how will you know the logic of solving this type of problem?"
