A few years ago USC’s MBA program replaced statistics with data science, which is further down the pragmatic chain.
Stats is not a generally useful skill (the concepts are, but can be taught in a data science course) but understanding how to work with data is.
Discrete math seemed to be the most applicable math class to my CS curriculum. I never took graphics so didn’t use linear algebra, and definitely never touched anything related to DiffEq.
