Sure, if your S is sociology, your math requirements will be 0-2 units of calculus and a statistical methods course taught in the department. The secondary school preparation for such a program is called "stop taking math in 11th grade."

You're being snide and not actually constructive. E.g. here are requirements for molecular and cellular bio at UC Berkeley, which requires a 1 year sequence covering calculus, stats and combinatorics. Linear algebra and differential equations are not requirements. http://mcb.berkeley.edu/undergrad/major/major-requirements/requirements http://mcb.berkeley.edu/undergrad/major/major-requirements/r...

  That sounds like it requires a high-school math sequence that prepares students for college calculus, doesn't it? Edit: You hardly contradicted me. My claim was that the math requirements of non-engineering science majors were 0-2 semesters of calculus and a course on statistical methods. You added combinatorics, which I usually just see taught as part of that applied methods course, rather than a stand-alone semester of mathematical combinatorics (I welcome correction). This is exactly what the current secondary math curriculum leads up to: calculus.

    That completely contradicts your point. > my claim was.. No, it wasn't, but nice try.

      You can literally read what I claimed, verbatim, a couple messages above. Please do!

        Exactly, which is why it is so weird of you to lie about it.
