Long ago only math majors could get close to the vacuum tube monster computers (late 50's). Knowledge of different bases (10, 2, 8, 16, 12, 60) were necessary. Also knowledge of rings, fields, boolean, and other modern algebras were essential. I hated calculus and took any math class that did not require calculus. My degree was math (1961) and I was in the computer industry for over 50 years and I never, ever had to use calculus.

Check with any lawyer about "implied warranty". Any product should last as long as an average product of the same type. Common law is a term used to describe laws that were in common use prior to those written into code. This implied warranty is good in all 50 US states. This is why "extended warranty" purchase is a waste of money.
