My university offered the math classes in either CS or Math departments. I always chose the math department. Better teachers and far more interesting professors (as people)

I have a degree in CS and I got a lot from it, so I'm absolutely not going to bad mouth CS, but I have the feeling that it's possible to just get a piece of paper having learned little to nothing in a way that couldn't happen with Math or Physics.
Obviously lots of great people have CS backgrounds, but it also feels like "how did this idiot get a degree" happens far more frequently for CS than Math. It's not like everyone coming out of a Math degree is automatically a genius, but they set the bar higher and as a result math classes "feel" better.
