I was gonna say the same thing. Advanced calc was the baseline for Engineering when I went to school.
The real math folks got into some crazy shit! Where’s the topology‽ Where’s the knot theory‽ Set Theory? Fractals and Chaos theory? Hierarchy of infinities? Where’s the Schwartzfeldt nonlinear matrix transcendence or whatever madness those beautiful nerds have cooked up‽

Awww, thank you. I feel seen.
ikr? None of that stuff looks intimidating or totally useless. Not. Real. Math.
They’re probably talking about calculations (in which case “math skills” is a mislabel), which I don’t think math students do much of.
