MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Really beyond the scope of the OP’s question; save the debate for another thread.
IMO, the real benefit of having calc in HS, beyond adding course rigor to the transcript, is that many engineering programs have first year design courses that are physics heavy. Without a calc background, that course becomes much, much more difficult.
@skieurope… Sorry, must of been writing when you posted.
No worries. Feel free to include that phrase on the “nails on the chalkboard” thread.
