i sat on an mba class for a week or so, and they taught y=ax+b and talked, talked, talked about this simple linear model the whole week. you guys remember 'beta' ? -- they emphasize as if that variable can explain everything.

i dropped out of that course the next day. i felt mba classes are just too easy and would dull me. it might be better these days, but i doubt it beats the math stats courses i took.

couple years later i talked with a friend who took mba because he was not confident. he said the mba math is joke and does not compare to ee courses he took.

i wonder if the mba uses simple tools to solve hard problems. if that's the case, it's like a bodybuilder try mining with spoon. a lanky guy with pick will produce more.
