Hey, /sci/, I've got a serious question.

Are there any chemists/biochemists here that can tell me when, or even if, they use hardcore calculus? I'm a total math brainlet in a biocalc class right now, and I really don't see myself using any of it outside of integrals for NMR and shit like that. But even then, I learn easier workarounds for calc in my science courses. Will I be using any of this as a biochem major?

Please, end yourself and castrate your siblings so they don't fuck the world even further with your genes.

I never said I don't care, I said I can't see myself applying it when my courses give constant workarounds for calculus. Maybe you can tell me, instead of berating me like a spergy mathfag?

Just learn it by yourself. There are some things that you probably would need calculus, like for interpolating data to get functions and stuff. But even if you don't, LEARN IT ANYWAY.
And if they keep giving you workarounds for calculus, then dismiss it and do it your way with calculus.
Mathematics will always help you improve your problem solving capabilities.
