In principle. But in practice, the industry doesn't need nearly as many mathematicians as it does software engineers, and almost no one is getting into CS out of the love of math. CS coursework reflects that. Here are some important algorithms and data structures, here's how you write Python, good luck at big tech!

My CS program (at Purdue) was from the math department. We didn't even start designing real programs until the 4th semester (and that was in Forth or C).

At that time, if you wanted to do application programming, you took software engineering (OO Pascal and C++) or computer technology (Java) from either tech or engineering schools.
