Well duh. Yet Psychology is essentially a science (especially the behavioral and cognitive neuroscience aspects of it). So is a course with advanced mathematical aspects more “quantitative” than a high-level science course?
So is Equilibrium Theory (a course that is mostly algebra and theory, but also incorporates a decent amount of multivariable calculus and differential equations into the mix) a more quantitative course than Human Neuroanatomy/Neuropsychology (a lab course that incorporates quite a bit of mostly statistics I guess, much like most high-level chem or bio courses)? I probably wouldn’t say so. But I guess it’s semantics
</p>
<p>The whole notion of quantitative skill is attached to mathematics. Otherwise, using this definition, mathematics isn’t as quantitative as psychology.</p>
