Some schools specifically request applicants to write about how they apply quantitative skills in problem solving. My questions is: what is the "scope" of their definition of quantitative skills? Are they limited to solving problems through the use of mathematical equations?
I know this may sound like a dumb question. Does computer programming count as quantitative? It does involve a lot of logic but not a lot of mathematical equations.
Also, I have been working in a high-tech company for a while. Even though the job does require very technical knowledge, it rarely requires anyone to actually solve any equation because the complexity of real-world problems can only be handled by computer simulations. I haven't needed to differentiate a function for the past many years.
Can anyone, especially those with working experience, help me with how to approach this? Perhaps a few examples?
