That discussion appears to be in regards to a different paper. Or do you mean to relate it to a previous relevant discussion?

Maybe an interesting discussion that would keep the link relevant is what the difference actually is? The table of contents do differ, but are very similar. Thanks for pointing that out, I was mostly going on memory, but looking at the ToC there are some differences between the two, but how much would be interesting to ascertain.

#5CS shouldn't be in the title. If you learn everything in this set of notes you will have learned something close to a standard 3 year undergraduate math curriculum. So the only way it's related to CS is that undergraduate math is applicable to CS, as expected.

A lot of the math in the notes are not covered in the standard engineering mathematics curriculum. Chapter 1 is not. No one taught me about rings except in discrete (just briefly), and the next time I visited it would be in algorithm and cryptography class. I honestly cannot recall my exact curriculum, but a quick glance at the table of content, more than half unknown to me.
Now, different school, different teacher will have additional materials. That's possible. Most importantly, the author of this PDF created this for the CS students, so it CAN be in the title.

They are very different. They might have some overlap, but they each have many unique contents.
The one you linked: Fundamentals of Linear Algebra and Optimization
The one here is: Algebra, Topology, Differential Calculus, and Optimization Theory

We shouldn't be confused with CS and programmer.

You may be taking too rigid a notion of CS...a lot of CS programs at least in American Universities are math programs...I got a minor in Applied math merely by declaring my desire for it without any extra classes. I would have gotten a double major in Applied Math and CS if I was willing to spend another semester in undergrad...point being Math and CS are not as far off.
