Very, very true in mathematics.

I am taking a BA in CS and we have had introductory courses in Standard ML and Discrete Mathematical Structures, now we have Object Oriented Programming in Java and Linear Algebra.

Linalg is arithmetic, only more of it, and almost everyone has done imperative programming before.
