First, calculus is a remedial class.

Second, I'm sure biologists have a passing knowledge of some mathematics. Of course, none of the students actually take any math courses and none of the Ph. D.'s can understand the most basic stuff when confronted with it in a dissertation defense.

Third, processes don't "end up" as differential equations, they can just be modeled that way. And if you don't know the difference...

And others get Ph.D.s in mathematics. Most mathematics departments have a Math Bio group.

Further, even if biologists can't do math, does it mean they can't do biology? Does a lack of mathematical ability mean creationism is correct? They are different topics.
