Perhaps. But they don't use it and probably never will. I have never used calculus in business. I've used other stats classes, quite regularly. But Calc was the core req.
And we're not talking "little refresher". Not only did they forget a basic Calc application, they didn't even remember that Calc was the solution. That's an abject failure if you can't even remember where to turn for the anser.
Useless. You have to major in math to get into the courses that really start to develop a framework for logic and analysis. The idea that taking Calc as a foundation course has real value is complete bunk.
