Do the math: too much calculus? (2012)
I graduated with a mechanical engineering degree, meaning I took 3 semesters worth of Calc and 3 more semesters worth of differential equations. So I&#x27;m not one to hate on math or calculus specifically. But I think high schools should focus more on statistics.<p>Statistics is relevant to more fields than calc. It matters a lot more in business and in all the jobs where you use calc you will also have to use statistics. It&#x27;s also useful for citizens to understand statistics better - and educating citizens is truly one of the purposes of public education.
