quote:Maybe you have to do some highly unique work, but I just let the people much smarter and proficient at both programming and the underlying math to handle it, whether in SAS or R (since I don't have access to SAS anymore). Then I just download the appropriate package, and worry about the appropriate analysis and interpretation for it.
I write computer simulations of rocket motor chuff.
I couldn't even imagine doing my statistical work without knowing calculus.
In fact, matrix algebra would probably be more useful than calculus if I had to write something specific.
