[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do kids need to take Calculus in high school anyway? My high school didn't even offer calculus. I simply took a year of it freshman year of college, majored in mathematics, got a master's in a STEM area, and have been working on a STEM field ever since. What benefit would taking calculus in high school have given me?[/quote] Well, grandma, things were different in the 70s [/quote] 20 years ago I took advanced math in high school. It allowed me to double major in college in a STEM field and a liberal arts field. The liberal arts field enriches my life daily, the STEM field provides my job. Plus having a solid math (and computing) background from high school helped me get through weed out classes in college.[/quote]
