I would like to add combinatorics as well. Of all the courses I've ever
taken, the concepts learned in my undergrad course on Combinatorics for
Computer Science are ones that I have used consistently through the
years, even still today. They also provided a great foundation for my
graduate work in Operations Research.

Kind Regards,
