Democrats demand CALCULUS be banned from High Schools because RACISM!!!!

MBA is a graduate program. I was discussing high school and college undergrad.

I doubt there are many investment bankers on Wall Street using calculus as a routine part of their job, whereas statistics and probability come into play frequently.

The point is that high school should prepare children for the future and provide the tools needed for success.

Calculus has never been required for graduation, but for students on an accelerated path, it is an important head start into the level of study they will encounter.

High school should prepare students to succeed. In some cases, success doesn't require higher mathematics, in other cases it is required.

What purpose is there for high school if not to prepare for the future?

Now I place little credence on what China says, they are the "Doc Dutch" of nations - anything they say is likely a lie. Still, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea all outperform the USA in math and science. That is not where we should be. And we are DECLINING, rapidly.

We put one of the highest percentages of GDP into public education in the world, and the return on that investment is abysmal at best. Crap like in the OP is a significant factor as to why America fails in education. The teachers unions are behind much of this.

I've never known a college that had an engineering "school", a history "school, a physics "school", or a geology "school".

We called them majors; or departments if referring to the building.

The only things called schools were the post-graduate professional law schools and medical schools.

You must be older than I.

In the last 40 years or so, most of the major universities have broken what were majors into "schools."

ROFL

You really put the "holy fuck" in "what a moron."

The problem you have is that you're uneducated and clearly slightly retarded. But beyond that, I tend to cite what I claim.

Somehow your cries of "NUHN UHN" fail to convince..

Pearls before swine, he tried to argue that a college degree is required to write great music. Beethoven did not attend college

Yet every claim by you that I am lying has been proven - the liar here is you, and everyone the board knows.

I understand, you are in the "mentally retarded" category. Fairly high functioning, but still retarded.

"Engineering schools"...a common term for the Engineering departments at universities.

I don't believe for a nanosecond you took 'Calculus I and Calculus II' in high school and are a graduate of a top notch engineering school. You are a known liar.

Neil Peart (RIP) attained a doctorate, but it was in astrophysics. Kerry Livgren of Kansas has a doctorate in philosophy.

Outside of these two, I'm not aware of any substantial musicians who are very educated - and the two we have were not music majors.

Paul McCartney, held as one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, didn't finish high school - nor did Robert Plant or Tommy Shaw - all because the entered music at a very young age. Have a great talent and get signed at 15 or 16, suddenly high school isn't all that important.

My post no. 40:

I had to take college prep classes in high school to qualify for engineering school.

I had to take calculus I and calculus II...calculus I was not too difficult but calculus II was.


No high school that I know of offers Calculus I and II. I assumed you were bright enough to know that they are taught in engineering "schools" where I was required to complete them.

You must not consider Vanderbilt a top notch engineering school.

Now, take a hike, pendejo/a.

I for one, did NOT take calculus in high school. To do so meant you have to have Geometry as a freshman. I did the Algebra I - Geometry - Algebra II - Trigonometry track that was standard for college prep.

I never took calculus as an undergrad either. I was an MIS major - I only needed to count to 1 - for gods' sake. (binary humor)

I'm not going to indulge your fake life story.
 
Management information systems major graduates in the US make on average $81,267 annually or $39.07 hourly.

Not bad wages.

I just looked at the required curriculum for Harvard's MBA program, and there is no requirement for calculus.

Can either differential or integral calculus help one choose the winning Powerball number?


The answer is no,

determinable even by somebody with my horseshit math grades,

and because of that,

people would rather study the Paleolithic period.
 
"Difi difi"equations (difficult differential equations," as my son, who also is an engineer (ME), calls them and they were beyond difficult.
