Any algebraic language theory? Our postgrad CS course had that, which
left me and other engineers and physicists in the dust as we didn't
have maths degrees.

Just some formal logic, although I think we have a final year option. We
take people with just maths GCSE and bring them up to A level standard
in relevant areas, and add in discrete maths, etc.

Oh, who was the formal logic chap... Alan someone-or-other, I think?

I do remember that - having one A-level electronics - I really wanted to
take CSE rather than straight CS at UKC, but the extra pure maths
involved put me off... the complex number stuff that we had to suffer on
the CS course was bad enough
