You might be right. The level of education is different for every individual and also people come from different country.
In America you can be a graduate in computer science without knowing calculus, and in some other country they teach calculus/probability in high school.
So the above person might have studied the chain rule and entropy in high school. So its not exactly graduate level math for everyone.

This certainly isn't true at my university in the US. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure why you named a country at all seeing as this varies by university. Anyway, I would definitely agree that on the scale of reputable international universities this is not grad-level math. A graduate school in a well-qualified university would expect students to either know this material or be able to learn it on their own. They are intro classes for the math major at my (and many other) universities.
- learc83 10y ago>In America you can be a graduate in computer science without knowing calculus I don't know how. Every CS program I've ever seen requires calculus. >and in some other country they teach calculus/probability in high school Practically every high school in America offers calculus. Not everyone is required to take it, but most of the students going on to study CS do.
- deepnotderp 10y agoEven the average students here take calculus in HS....
- deepnotderp 10y agoJust to confirm, by entropy you mean shannon entropy, right? If so, yeah.
