<p>Its the math or the quantitative reasoning requirement were zeroing in on , having a very lopsided student like GwenFairfaxs D. Some of the required courses in this area are straight math courses, others, as Keilexandra notes, may be filled by psych or logic or computer science courses its the latter were after. Interestingly, so far its the most elite unis which seem to offer these softer math courses, eg. Fat Chance at Harvard which assumes no knowledge beyond highschool algebra ([HERS</a> Output](<a href=“http://webdocs.registrar.fas.harvard.edu/courses/EmpiricalandMathematicalReasoning.html]HERS”>http://webdocs.registrar.fas.harvard.edu/courses/EmpiricalandMathematicalReasoning.html)). Im someone who fulfilled my nat sci gen ed requirement (Harvard in the 70s) with an ethnographic film course its that type of loose distribution requirements were seeking.</p>
