Yeah, the same is true of the other relatively well-regarded heterodox programs (American, &c.) Calc I can actually handle, but it's not intuitive, like, say, statistics is, and even applying to an economics program, heterodox or not, would require taking night classes in linear algebra, which has considerable opportunity costs and improbable success.
Anyway, this is selfish and hardly germane, but if anybody wants to discuss this offlist - I know there are a bunch of academic types here no doubt brimming with avuncular wisdom - I'd be much obliged.
