curiously "calculus" comes from the latin word calculus, meaning "small stone", since small stones were used for counting and calculation.
for that reason kidney stone is "cálculo renal" in my language.
just an useless random fact because i have nothing do to

I did up to calculus III (multivariable calc) in high school through a program with our local college. Did a huge amount of pure and applied math in college for my engineering degree. All a giant fucking waste now that I'm in medical school and totally burnt out on creating anything. I just want to show up, care for patients, and go home with a decent paycheck not do all this medical device bullshit

Not sure what the point is here but I'll bite.
Calculus is a senior-level (12th grade) math class in high school and freshman-level in college (for curricula that require it).
If that's funny or pathetic, etc., you'll have to tell me why.

They're mostly full of shit. Here you can cover calc 1 and 2 in high school through AP classes. Maybe euros also let you do calc 3 or they smush it together into the first two somehow. And i'd be willing to believe they're expected to do a watered down version of real analysis or "discrete math+" in engineering school since that's another thing these niggers gloat about. But no way in hell are they touching actual serious math in high school or forcing non-math majors to take seriously rigorous higher math courses.

Also worth noting: eurofags call applied, plug-and-chug calculus "analysis" instead of calculus. I think they (including OP) are confusing that for what we call in america "real analysis" which is rigorously proving the methods learned in plug-and-chug calc. I have a feeling there's some self-delusion going on, same as how our EE majors can take a class about numerical methods for complex functions but they call it "complex analysis" when it isn't actually analysis.

calc 1 and 2 are, though

imo if we cut the bloat calc could be 9th grade for at least a quarter of students, that's when I took it but only like 2 other 9th graders did in my hs of like 3500. Too many classes that are just repeated work, no learning

Nobody is kicked out. You apply to wherever you want and best grades and locals get dibs. People with shitty grades have two options (other than entering the work force or being a neet): study and fix their grades, or join something with lower requirements that they may ACTUALLY enjoy because they clearly dont care for studying boring shit and the grades reflect it. This means going to a school to become a mechanic or electrician or whatever and having a full time job before 20 and getting a massive headstart on investments by living with your parents and saving €40k a year without higher education. You can own a home with almost no debt in just a few years which is a lot better than getting a degree in history and ending up with the same wage and a bunch of debt at 25. Most people who try to make it to become doctors and lawyers dont stick long enough around before capitulating and getting a median wage office job.

It's a an actual blessing for these people to be told hey you suck at studying fix your shit or do something else instead of giving them a degree they cant use.
