>doctor from Harvard told me he never used it once (Orthopedic Surgeon)
>doctors at my moms work forgot how to do calculus
Please explain why we have to waste 2 years of college taking shitty ass classes. Also I feel college doesn't help us grow as a student. We should be able to pick our major right away and take mostly classes that relates to it. I'm at a liberal arts school and I woke up o grab me a cold pop, and I thought someone was bbq'ing. Sweet jesus it was a fire. AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR LIBERAL ART CLASSES MIXED IN WITH SCIENCE.

Let me put it this way: If you lack the critical thinking to perform single variable calculus, I don't want you operating on me. But to answer your question directly, they do it to test your critical thinking capabilities. A lot of your classes in the first two years are solely there to weed people out.
