Probably the vast majority of science never touches diffyq or calculus. At least not directly enough to require anything more than a cursory familiarity with them.
Statistics is probably far more important to most scientific disciplines, and is probably best taught beginning with real world examples that a young student can relate to (say, baseball).
- rayiner 12y agoWhat scientific field besides maybe biology isn't heavily based on differential equations? Most of the engineering disciplines (mechanical, chemical, aerospace, civil, electrical) are basically just extended studies of various sorts of differential equations.

Im not surprised that engineering fields use a lot of calc and diffq. Afterall, they are engineering, not science. I think I offended a calc teacher or physicist with my last oost, it got down voted.
