If nursing students never study calculus, you sometimes end up with Tai’s Formula for calculating the area under a curve http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/17/2/152.abstract now with nearly 300 citations.

This is a method which was known <50 BCE to the Babylonians, and is taught to every high school calculus student as the “trapezoid rule”.
