Its kinda weird that I took Engineering calc 1 and calc 2 (dont know why I did as a biology major, some stupid registration people signed me up for it).  Engineering calc is probably one of the hardest classes to be taken and we used the unit circle maybe 1 or 2 classes and was never seen on a quiz or test.  My school doesn't curve grades and the highest grade in engineering calc was a C+, bad huh lol.

Calc classes help them weed out students who wouldn't be able to crack later courses.  It's not necessarily that you'd use it in your profession to the nth degree you study it, it keeps the dummies out :D

I think its funny though that Im the only one in my major that took the course lol.  Calc 1, was a requirement but I could have taken the easier science level calc like the rest of the science majors, no somehow I ended up in the engineer level.  Calc 2 was a complete elective, why I took it no idea.  The joys of college classes.   :lol
