[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Their argument seems to be that, 'eh, people don't need calculus, they need DATA SCIENCE. And if they do need calculus they can take it in college'. [/quote] But data science heavily relies on calculus and many post-calc maths like linear algebra. When these VDOE people started pushing DATA SCIENCE!!!, did they not even bother looking into what the field requires?[/quote] Seriously. I'm looking at getting into a data field and very quickly realized that I do NOT have the math background for data science and only barely have the statistics background that business analysis requires. Data science is hard math and computer science - the program at GMU would only accept me provisionally and required that I take and get an A or B in their crash course in programming and math to be admitted. I believe at Mason that it's part of the college of engineering.[/quote]
