> Not much maths in engineering/CS in germany either.

That's simply not true. It depends entirely on the particular institution and its roots.

There are two origins of CS in German universities: electrical engineering and maths. At universities where CS originated as a subfield of maths, undergrad CS education is very similar to a maths undergrad to the point that most of the tests/mid-terms are basically identical between CS and maths.

If on the other hand CS came from the electrical engineering department, the focus is significantly less on maths and the lectures are very different indeed.

So you'd have to look at the history of each university and where the CS department originated to find out.

Ah, I see, thanks for the information.

Which university would be an example for the latter?

Karlsruhe Institute for Technology is an example. Analysis 1+2 and Linear Algebra 1+2 is compulsory for every CS student (the exams are practically identical, just missing a single topic. You can always switch to the math lectures and get a few ECTS more). This is a great background for more advanced, theoretical lectures (CS+Math) but it's lacking electrical engineering lectures and especially there's no electrical engineering practice.

Seriously, which German university (not "FH") doesn't teach analysis and linear algebra in the first terms? I am really wondering.

TU Ilmenau has Analysis and Linear Algebra but that is only heard by mathematicians. There is a different class called "Math for engineers" which mechanics students, computer science students, ... hear which has different tests and a different focus but still teaches solving linear ODEs and stuff.
