That's interesting.  In the UK I think it would be unlikely that
calculus was required for CS.  There would be some maths to cover things
like sets and logic and proof and so on -- all "discrete", rather than
"continuous" maths most likely.  Of course calculus would be crucial for
something like a CS options in numerical analysis, but that would be a
special case (not all universities would offer such an option).
