Frank Borman led the Apollo 8 mission which was the first manned mission to orbit the moon.
He was 95!
Americans might remember him mostly from his television commercials for Eastern Airlines.

Doesn't mean you need to teach it in high school. Not that I'm saying you shouldn't. Overall I think schools should teach people things about statistics (like the need to normalize deaths to know if being unvaccinated makes you unsafe), and evidence in general (that statistics beat anecdotes)

Akin to trying to understand Shakespeare's works without knowing English grammar.
Edit: Just saw that this article is 9 years old. Any policy changes, or changes of opinion since then?

Not at all.
First of course and most important, Shakespeare's works are written in Old English. Which is difficult to understand even for someone that does understand modern english.
And of course one doesn't need to be able to parse an english statement to communicate in english.
There is also additional contextual information in Shakespeare that one needs to understand which has nothing to do with grammar. Certainly someone who wants to become a university professor specializing in Shakespeare is going to need knowledge in general history, history of the theater and history of that era.
Not mention they better know who Bacon is. And that of course has nothing to do with grammar.

Am not familiar with any other English author than Shakespeare.
Just meant that a knowledge of grammar - verb, noun, adjective, subject, object, preposition, etc. is needed for proper understanding of some long sentences or simple poems. I regularly read long sentences in Sanskrit, Kannada, Tamil, where there is a prescribed method of comprehending a sentence, based on grammar. Without which the sentence can sometimes mean exactly the opposite.
In data science also, without proper understanding of calculus principles, methods like gradient descent will only be partially understood. Optimization methods are predominantly calculus based.

Yes.
Unfortunately there is a large disconnect between what the OP author posted (verbiage) and the link that they added as a reference.
So as to the verbiage and only that your statement is very valid.
For the link it says nothing at all about Data Science but it does comment on the need for Calculus (or not.)

As an aside, and it kind of illustrates how everything evolves, including science and mathematics, Shakespeare isn't really written in particularly old English. Elizabethan English, yes, but if you read some Chaucer, which is written in older (middle) English than Shakespeare, suddenly old Will's (modern English, in reality) works look a lot more modern and accessible, and you can get a real taste of old English by reading, say, the poem "Beowulf", which looks at first sight not entirely unlike German but with some unfamiliar characters, the most obvious being the thorn which is pronounced "th" and gave rise to the use of "Ye" as in "Ye olde inne".

No.
Calculus exposes one to the ideas of trends, maxima, minima, limits, etc. All important concepts in data science.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I never learned calculus. I had a semester of pre-calculus in college, but it was primarily trigonometry and I only remember that I took it. I also had a semester of statistics, which has been more useful.
Discrete math and Finite math were also required for CS majors.
But I wouldn't call myself a data scientist either. I like working with data and doing some light data analysis, but others are surely better at the heavy stuff than I.
Even if I had learned calculus forty years ago, I wouldn't remember it now unless I had been using it all that time, so it wouldn't help very much, I'd have to re-learn it.
"A man's got to know his limitations." -- Harry Callahan
P.S. Most high school graduates do not need calculus. Or trigonometry. Or Algebra 2. Or geometry.
When I graduated high school I had not yet decided to go into software development.
