Why won’t anyone teach me math?

I can't say I'm too surprised. Waterloo is unusual in that they offer a Bachelors in Math in addition to the more standard B.Sc. and B.A degrees. Computer Science majors there graduate with a B.Math.

Waterloo also offers a BCS which has fewer math requirements than the BMath: https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/current-undergraduate-students/major...

The BMath option is only required if you want to have a double major in CS and a different area of math. Otherwise the BCS is strictly more flexible: you have 5 fewer math courses and 5 more electives (which you may use to take math courses if you really want to). From my experience most people are graduating with BCS unless they really like math.

Interesting. At the time I was picking universities that wasn't an option they offered.
