Prob Stat does not use Calculus, I'm sorry to inform you. It's primarily formulas and tables. I don't even consider it real math. Maybe there's a little integration, but that's only in the theoretical stuff. I don't know what Physics class you took that didn't use Calculus, because the two are very tightly interwoven.

 

I'm not sure what "Math Foundations for Software Engineers" is, but I'd guess it's something along the lines of Discrete Math. That generally doesn't use a lot of Calc either, it's more logic-based. It's fun though - I really enjoyed the class.

 

Let me know how they go for you though, I've taken at least half a dozen Probability courses and a few Logic/Discrete Math ones. I could offer some help or advice maybe.

My Physics classes did use Calculus, that's why I said they didn't serve me well, they screwed me over.

 

And my Prob Stat syllabus clearly states that it will require basic Calculus skills (mostly integration it seems), but we'll see.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about the Calc in those classes.

 

Good luck though!
