Everyone or just math/CS students + those others, including liberal arts majors, who elect it (out of several options) in order to fulfill the math/quantitative reasoning requirement? | |

They are really that dire. It is easier to get through calculus without noticing this problem. Considering most high school math teachers never learned anything about sets and functions, it isn't surprising that all the students were lost. | |
