Hey Aston…did I say anything about statistics? No. Statistics is a great class. I’ve taken 3 stat’s classes…and 2 calc classes…and out of them both…I can NEVER see myself using calculus EVER.

Freakin’ nerd.



That’s because either you are incredibly ignorant or you never really understood calculus. It is also clear that you know next to nothing about statistics. 80% of statistics involves calculus. Good luck trying to understand a distribution without calculus. You think someone just pulled (x-u)/sd out of thin air?

If by some miracle you do get into Wharton, you will be using calculus in the required basic microeconomics class as well as various finance and accounting classes.
