[QUOTE="1939hotmagic, post: 506652, member: 1792"] I'll leave it to you engineers, business movers and shakers, and hard science folks to shoot it down, but to this humanities and social-sciences kinda guy, an outsider to Tech, it has long seemed to me that either of several alternatives -- intro to probability and stats, intro to behavioral economics, or an intro to logic and reasoning course -- would be a more relevant and possibly more interesting required course than calc for business management, comm and media, and public policy-oriented majors. [I]Even if Georgia Tech didn't field Division 1/FBS sports teams, [/I]yes, that's my perception. And I also believe that a majority of Tech grads, understandably given their/your IQ and academic strengths, considerably underestimate how mathaphobic many Americans, including numerous intelligent high school students, are; many, upon trudging just through geometry and a couple of years of algebra, unfortunately are so turned off by the experience that they have no desire to tackle any math again -- or as little as possible.
