Maths with health science, coming soon Engineering without maths

 Education is learning without "experience". If you learn only through experience you just need apprenticeship.

Sadly most of education in colleges is so useless we cannot learn without experience. One of the reasons for that (in health science) is we dont learn maths or logical thinking or economics. So we cant understand simple things like probability, difference between single event and generalization. When the pandemic hit most of us in the health services had little idea on what the data was telling us.

Everyday some drug was touted to be a "good" for the covid. as we have no understanding of evolutionary biology we were astonished when the virus mutated to one of the treatment. In a idea situation before generalizing the usage we should have done a trial or an experiment. alas as we "know" it might work. as we think it is better to do something than wait, we ended up with all idiotic ideas. moreover none of the people who told us to be at home (remember they all had a fat cheque) told us how will people eat, how will they go home etc. as we have little understanding of sociology and economics- two important eyes of health. the list goes on. So pray tell me what is your point- after ruining health education with useless syllabus without useful science subjects like maths, physics etc, Now it is striking the Engineering education, you dont have to do maths and physics and join Enginerring. I for one in all my 14 years of experience in the world convinced my mother to for go maths in 11 and 12. I do still suffer and had and still have tough time understanding certain maths which is needed to study neurology leave alone research methods. So what will happens to these students when they dont know laws of thermodyanamics or calculus and want to work in a proper engineering company. How will they work big data or AI? I shudder
Meet our new policy- hope this will be scraped soon
