AFAIK in Europe numerical methods is mandatory in most Telco/EE degrees, but not in CS/SWE. The opposite happens with discrete maths btw

Here in Spain if you can't grasp numerical methods in CS you can't even think on earning a degree.

Here in Canada, CS is part of the Math Department at the University of Waterloo, but part of the Philosophy Department at University of Toronto.

Waterloo graduates take a Numerical Methods course in second year. I fear for the philosophers.
