New Sophia Courses: College Math and Chemistry
#14
(01-28-2022, 03:55 PM)dfrecore Wrote: For the business world, Excel gives you everything you need to do any kind of math/formula you might need.  I worked in "mathy" areas of Business for 10 years, including 401(k) plan administration, Stock Plan Administration, and Compensation Management, without a degree, and never had to use anything in any way related to College Algebra or Stats.  I can honestly say I think those courses are a complete waste of time.

I disagree to an extent. Currently I'm in a supply chain manager role. I also have my hat in QA a bit. For inventory management and planning, scheduling, etc, I use algebra all time. I don't use anything beyond basic arithmetic for purchasing. I admit stats I rarely used, but if you're going into QA roles or have an interest in Six Sigma it's absolutely useful to have the foundations. And Excel is only as good as your logic is, if you're doing anything beyond basic arithmetic formulas.
