I'd say you're very right about this. I'm an engineering student, and I have to take significantly more math than business majors. Not just different math, but
more math. And my math is applied. I have to learn the formulae and concepts, but I also have to learn how to apply it to real problems.
And they only need one semester of statistics... what?
