@bilcorry because all students can benefit from being exposed to difficult problem solving scenarios, regardless of chosen discipline.

@JohnathanKuskos What are the benefits of using advanced math for "difficult problem solving scenarios"?

@bilcorry Well, I feel taking those adv. math courses helped me stand out as someone that sticks through tough and really lame times.

@bilcorry It's no surprise everyone hates math; From my standpoint the tough stuff helped me build great life habits that benefit me today.

@JohnathanKuskos You still could have taken the courses without being required to, and what meaningful courses did you miss?

@bilcorry I don't get the rebuttal. Do you just want to debunk my responses or have an actual conversation on the subject?

@JohnathanKuskos My point is it doesn't have to be required, you can take it if you find it valuable or take something else in another field
