[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Statistician here. There's a huge amount of calculus needed for Statistics but that doesn't mean it can't be taught at a basic level without calc. Years ago the AP Stat exam I took had very little calculus in it, and yes it was an easier test than Calc BC However I do think whatever course you take should have a practical component - [b]will they teach R, SAS, Stata etc. [/b] Otherwise it's not that helpful for Research purposes...just my opinion. [/quote] No of course not, the AP Stats curriculum is worthless since it doesn't teach any language or practical way to understand the concepts. Therefore almost no students can actually learn anything; neither the kids who took calculus because it doesn't make logical sense without calculus, nor the ones who have never studied it and have to take for granted a bunch of formulas but don't have any way to build their intuition as you suggested through programming or practical applications.
