Same story here, as computer science students we got a hefty dose of mathematics, and was in some respects close to what students of physics and mathematics got.

For example, when compsci students get Linear Algebra in their second year, they are getting the same lectures as Physics students in their first year. (Same room, same exam).

We also had shared physics courses in the first year.

I believe that physics, mathematics, and computer science should have some shared courses, not just having compsci students take mathematics. For example, for programming, we were a joined group of mathematics,physics and compsci students in the first year.

They are all courses related with logical reasoning anyway, so a compsci student should not hate mathematics and physics that much. Most of the complaints I noticed were the physics students complaining about _programming_ rather than the compsci students complaining about physics.
