Which CS program? I think you’re more than exaggerating. They don’t teach topology, FEM and abstract algebra in “most” CS program. These are just three random examples; most of the book is wayyy more advanced than what I would expect to learn in freshman CS.
This book seems to be designed as a primer for PhD research students - which might include some talented final year undergrads heading in that direction.
If that's your level, it might reasonably be called "basic."
