Enlighten me then as to what I missed? Our low level science/math courses are also considered Gen Eds (requirements)... maybe while you're so busy forgetting how "whiny" the science types are, you've neglected to see that science and mathematics courses are also Gen eds? And if people consider Algebra and Geometry level math comprehension an adequate amount to be a "well-educated person", I'll drop out of this conversation and discontinue my argument -because they're just plain wrong. I learned that **** in 9th grade.
Maybe you need to put on your reading glasses, because I responded to exactly what you posted.
Sorry, I meant whiny and sensitive
And yes, to be a well educated person you need a grounding in literature, history, languages, humanities, and social sciences. Sorry, I agree with your university (and every other university that I know) that calculus is not a part of that foundational education.
