So what is that advantage for everyday people? I see some people are making it a "citizenship requirement" but except for exponent, which is not a part of calculus anyway (OP original point), there seems to be little advantage to it.
- noobermin 4y agoYou cannot really understand the nature of exponentiation if you do not understand calculus! Whoever is saying is likely ignorant or they have a shallow understanding, and when I say shallow, I really mean it, as in their knowledge is not sufficient. You cannot know a how dependence based on a power over a linear relationship is "stronger" without talking about rate of change, which is literally calculus. Perhaps you can have an intuitive notion of change, and that's fine, but the point of education often is to either refine intuition or correct it. And that then leads me to my point above: if your knowledge is shallow, to the point that it limits you, then why clamor to limit yourself or further to limit others?
