"Programmers", sure. But for a professional, degreed practitioners let's have some proper education please. What the heck is so hard about a bit of 17th C. mathematics anyway? Or are we talking about more advanced topics like "Analysis" (19th C.)? Either way, I don't want a dumbed down low wage profession. I'm looking for parity with at least doctors, accountants and high school science teachers..

By the way, I am wondering if you had some bad teachers who themselves failed to fully understand calculus. Good teachers make all the difference.
