You mean there are advanced degrees that do not require at least mid-level mathematics/geometry? What degrees are those? I wished I knew that before I got my Doctorate, because math has always been a struggle for me.

Personally, I think everyone should have to pass p-chem to get a bachelors degree.
I’ve often thought that anyone aspiring to a PhD in any subject should have to pass math up through differential equations, just to prove that they are smart enough for the title “Doctor”.
That would sure clean out the ranks of mush science experts running around.
Sure. No math at all for a PhD in History or Social Science, etc. Just because these are not “science” subjects, they still need to prove their worth. Mathematics is universal after all.
