All that and combinatorics and probability too. It's exceedingly nontrivial. My graduate advisor said "in combinatorics the questions are all easy to understand and impossible to answer"
So then why is there is notion that statistics is for "lightweights" ? Part of it is all of the barebones rough and ready recipe based stats courses for business and social science majors... but there are calc classes like that too so why does it stick only to stats?
