If I am a Political Science major should I take the Statistics or Calculus class to complete my General Ed requirements?
If you are a college student only wanting to take one math class and studying poli sci, I think it should absolutely be statistics. Statistics are prevalent where you are headed … calculus not so much.
thank you!
Daddio nailed it. A lot of work in poli sci is in polling. A working knowledge of statistics is a good idea. Knowing how to take a first derivative? Not so much in that field.
