This is a tangent but, I dunno why we teach students how to solve ODEs. Computers can do these stuffs perfectly fine. What they can't do is the actual understanding and analysis.

Disagree. ODF was one of the best subjects I took, and even if I haven't used it, I could be working on quant where is used regularly. And the same can be said for any other subject.

I see, did your class introduce the principles other than raw formulas? Imo the formulas are not so useful considering that you can look it up, but understanding the meaning they hold is worthwhile.
