I don’t know,,,,, interesting question. I can see some disciplines that would require nothing more than basic Math. History, English, Languages, etc., shouldn’t require a lot of Math. But I don’t think they do. As an Architecture major, I had killer math/engineering requirements. I hated the course called “Statics!” “Put the front wheels of a 25.6 ton tractor trailer, 9.4 feet onto a steel truss bridge. What is the tension or compression on a strut 100.8 feet away?” Problems took two hours to solve,,, with a damn slide rule! I was a designer. I wanted to take my designs to the engineering department and say, “Here’s my design. Figure out how to build it!” Sheesh! That course was abdo-lute Hell! You’d get one problem as homework. I’d get an A one day, and an F the next. 3/4s of the way through, TI introduced the first pocket calculator. Man! What a relief! I actually put a bullet through my slide rule!
You did what?! You barbarian! You animal! Have you no decency?
I took out my old Sterling plastic slide rule and showed it to a class of pre-calculus students and asked them what they thought it was. No one had a clue.
Be thankful you were an architecture student. We engineers had to take dynamics next. Now all that stuff is rotating at 2500 rpm - what are the forces now!?
I had enough when I hit the partial differential equations course.
