Besides, there was a quite a bit of discrete math in mandatory theoretical CS subjects: Algorithm Analysis, Graph Algorithms, Formal Languages, Boolean Algebra, Formal Methods, etc. But I wouldn't count these as "math" proper.

We also had 2 or 3 mandatory Physics subjects. I wasn't interested in physics and found them pretty useless. Some professors justified them as an "application of advanced calculus", while the advanced calculus subjects were touted as essential to a proper understanding of physics.
