> I got a minor at my undergrad just by doing stats, linear algebra and calc through multivariate.

I wouldn't call this a good thing; this just seems like a sane basis for any maths work (including Comp Sci).

That's my point. It was pretty much what was required for the CS degree. The UK standard is much higher.

I don't think it's just the UK. At Berkeley, for example, the Math minor requires 4 lower division courses and 5 upper div.

Yes - 9 versus 5. Is Berkeley quarterly or semester? Either way, it looks like a much more rigorous program. (I've generally been very impressed with Berkeley Math and CS grads)
