In Oklahoma, the requirement usually is up to “algebra 2” - this is mostly domain and range, finding roots of polynomials, and logarithms.
IMHO, the world would be better if calculus was a required part of the high school curriculum. Like yeah, most people aren’t going to need the product rule in day to day life, but the fundamental ideas about rates of change seem like they’re something that everyone human deserves to be exposed to.
Sorry, but I can’t see the justification for it. I’m on board with everyone else who’s suggesting statistics, though.
Statistics and stochastics are the big killers in some university courses.
Imagine someone studying psychology because it is about ‘working with humans and emotions, not numbers’. Wrong. Statistics and stochastics are the big first term student filters. A pschologist must be able to read and understand test results and similar corrolations.
