      So THAT’S why a biologist had to reinvent calculus in 1994:

      Guess biology isn’t STEM then, sorry.

      But in all seriousness, calculus (and by extension differential equations) is super common in bio. Reaction rates, stable population sizes, micro and macro. I’d be surprised if you never came across it.
