Cherie,
I trhink that any math teacher worth his/her salt will agree.
Lots of my students want to becom eengineers, but they say that
they aren't good in math.  I remind them that most engineers
that I know "overdesign" and then let the errors take care of
themselves.  As I remember my science/math history DesCartes
was in prison when he came up with analytic geometry.  Maybe,
the math teachers/departments need to read a little history of
something other than mathematics.
:>)  Dave
