> I don't think you can properly learn probabilities without understanding a degree of calculus. And I don't think you can have a complete scientific education without a measure of probabilities and statistics.
I don't think the parent said zero calc or statistics (rereading the parent did say no calc which I disagree with). I think the complaint stems from the fact that many CS curriculums started, and often still exist in the math department. Should a CS student take calc classes up to level 4 or stop at level 2 and instead have more advanced courses around the computer part of the science?
