How much math is in a typical CS program these days? Calc 1-3 (maybe 3, varied by school), Linear Algebra, Statistics (inconsistent across programs), Discrete were pretty much it when I was in school 25+ years or so ago. That's only 4-6 courses depending on the university, though some where the CS dept was more strongly associated with an engineering college might have added Diff Eq and others. (I got interested in CS education and reviewed a lot of curricula in the US at the time, this is from memory.)
Some schools like MIT might have required more, but on average what I wrote was about it. Has it increased since then? Based on the new hires I've seen the last decade I'd have guessed the math requirements were mostly the same.
