Are you a scientist if you do not understand maths beyond calculus level? (1 Viewer)

[LaGOWE]

Scientists use mathematics as a model for their observations using calculus for situations such as rates of change.
Any so-called scientist who does not have this level of mathematics deserves to perhaps burn in a fire?

Depends on the discipline.

You're a scientist if you're engaged in research in a field of science?

 

[doink]

No you are not a scientist.

I know shit about maths or even calculus and I'm doing a science? And I'm not burning ??

quick, you better study high school maffs or u won't be TEH SCIENTIST

btw, what the hell is "calculus level", is that like year 11 "multiply by the power and subract the power by 1" or vector calculus or complex analysis or... ?

That's exactly what I'm saying. Graduating from an science degree doesn't make me a scientist. Graduating from nursing doesn't make you a nurse, graduating from medicine doesn't make you a doctor, graduating from psychology doesnt make you a psychologist, etc.

You are qualified TO BECOME a scientist, but you are not actually granted that title of being "biologist" "physicist" etc until you have the job. I could graduate and then go get a job waiting tables, and I'd be a waitress, not a teacher.

hence "engaged in research in a field of science"
