The class is called calculus, not "calculus with financial applications"

Theres multiple brainlet calculus classes, they can go there.

Bitch, the fucking cat does not exists. It's a stupid analogy for the absurdity of quantum mechanics.

This is what I like about Computer Science, you can enjoy the theory of some algorithm and then make use of it by implementing it using a programming language to do some work on real data.

you don't exist. at least not by any metric of worth

>>8820436
haha whatever you say cs brainlet

>>8820443
I'm not a brainlet.

>>8820439
There are people there aren't lazy shits like you

are you saying there aren't people who are paid to work out how long it will take to get a certain concentration of salt water in a container if it's being drained at a particular rate?

Enjoy that 35k in black neighborhood school starting OP, while I do some job that doesn't require that much math and with 90k starting with lots of benefits

Stats and OR brehs know this well too.

>>8820706
Enjoy being stuck there forever. You need a pure math masters to do any 6 figure work.

hahaha aww thats cute little brainlet

Had a ta say that exact thing last august.
Wonder if you're him.

>Poor brainlet tier
Humanities (except for law and economics)
Physical Education
Nutrition
Business
Marketing

>High income tier
Engineering
Applied mathematics
Experimental physics
Medicine
CS
Law
Economics

>High intellect + plus average/low income tier
Pure mathematics
Theoretical physics

Income x intellectual challenge follows a parabola-like graph. The absolute brainlet-tier courses will give you little money. The hardest courses will give you some money but are not gonna make you rich. The most profitable courses have some degree of difficulty, but can't be too abstract as they should be applicable to the real world.

>>8820430
>Falling for the "math is beautiful" meme

Nobody in history ever actually thought this until reddit-tier pop science faggots started flooding in with this Education degrees

Math has ALWAYS been used to solve real problems. You're the one ruining its true utility.
>>
>>8820430
But QM works fine as a model.

>>8820436
Yeah, but there are a lot of fields that are like that.

What was the real world application of
Proving there are infinity many primes in 200bc?
>>
>>8821838
Euclid defined a prime as a measurement unit that could not be reduced.

Numbers didn't even exist back then
