Why count mathematics?

Why count mathematics?

Why not BC? Who needs physics...

Why not just require a major in medieval french literature?

This is probably just cliche, but really I think it's included because it's the language of the sciences. An adept knowledge of math is kind of important for science in general.


And really, all the other sciences stem from or are related to mathematics.

I'm no mathematician, but I hear everything boils down to a series of ones and zeroes anyway.

math is the language of the universe...meh.

I can see how biostatisics or something would be relevant...but calculus? When was the last time an MD had to work with integrals or derivatives?

Rads? Maybe?

When was the last time an MD had to draw a newtonian mechanics diagram? When was the last time an MD cared about the process of photosynthesis?

I thought we were all far enough along in our education to realize the content of our courses are not all that valuable to our future work and the pre-reqs are more about teaching cold hard scientific thinking and weeding out the fools.

It's a weed out course. There are more qualified applicants than there are spots in schools.

True I'm just bitter because i got a C in calculus...I blame my professors lack of proficiency with the english language. Most frustrating experience ever.

Wolfgang Pauli (1900-1958) Austrian Physicist in the US. (Nobel Prize, 1935). From a letter to R. Kronig, 25 May 1925.

Mathematics is the queen of all sciences. That's why.

and the king would be????

 

[HumidBeing]

The queen prefers a consort, not a king. She is entitled to first rank.

it was for laughs 🙄

He's the king, alright. He's taking applications from those who fail out of their BCMP classes to become subjects of his kingdom.
