Great, in theory.
But I remember my junior or senior year my finance prof asked "and how do we find the slope of the curve"? Crickets. Calculus was a requirement for all freshmen.
So that's an example of how well your liberal arts classes sink-in and pay off - and Calc is a very rigid, structured course with actual correct answers.
