I'm not saying these aren't important but for most developers this stuff is rarely going to be used. Most "developer" jobs are not math heavy. I'd rather push someone to learn how to write clean code and focus more on the engineering aspect.

Yes, this is what I'm referring to. Math and algorithms rarely, if every, show up in my work beyond basics that don't require more than a week or two of information.
