We were just talking about this over lunch yesterday (software engineers at a medical device company). I won’t dismiss calculus, but it was generally agreed that linear algebra and statistics were most important, at least for what we’re doing.
Must be something common about medical devices. When not doing linear algebra and stats, I need optimizations from the wheelhouses of linear programming and numerical analysis.
Although for statistics (and probability as well), Calculus has a way of sneaking in there.
not sure why anyone downvoted this, because in my stats for engineers class we were doing double integrals
