Computer science is a very wide field these days. I am a computer scientist but my education (math-wise) mostly focused on numerical math, not high-level symbolic logic. Sure, I could understand it if I took the time, but it certainly looks like abracadabra to me at first glance :-)

Interesting, mine focused very much on higher level stuff like predicate logic and set theory.

Indeed interesting how different educations differ. We certainly learned some of that, but it was never the center of attention. Geometric algorithms were another larger focus. Ofc there is so much to learn and it's only possible to confer part of that in the 4-5 years.
