Discrete mathematics and all sorts of its application in real-world (software development) related problems. Also how any given solution to a problem in one problem domain can be transferred to a problem in another unrelated domain. Think Galois theory but waaaay less fancy :-)

So many useful groundings in various super important comp sci concepts.
