I write computer simulations of rocket motor chuff.

I couldn't even imagine doing my statistical work without knowing calculus.
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.

In fact, matrix algebra would probably be more useful than calculus if I had to write something specific.

I think we have digressed off topic,

The OP was about algebra being racist, while the author made mention of statistics.

My point was laughing that if your math skills were lower than algebra...
