As far as why math is featured so heavily in CS programs, it helps develop the logical form of thinking you need to solve problems. The heaviest math programming I've done has been tax calculations and amortorization on loans. 90% of the programming I've done has been with data entry systems.
A good friend of mine had a more engineering program at his school, and he did work closer to the hardware level, even going so far as to program specialized functions in assembler because math at any other level was to slow for the projects he was working on. I think that was a spectrum analyser of some sort for a defense contractor.
