Computer Science? Engineering? Hello! these fields would not exist without Algebra & Calculus #sigh Stop helping continue to #DumbAmerica

I nvr took calculus & nvr needed it. I took statistics instead & it turned out to be way more relevant to my life. Some math u dont need
-
-
I also took comp sci. All Im saying is tht not everyone will be in stem and thats ok. It just means that not everyone should have to learn
-
Calculus or trig or other advanced math. Have them take something a bit more relevant to what they want to do.

I struggled through math in H.S., but I kept at it & I'm so glad I learned what I did &was forced to take it. Let's not dumb down USA more.

I doubt Andrew Hacker could give a definition of algebra if he tried. Math ed increases the ability to think critically - sadly undervalued.

So does learning an instrument, but we don't force every student to slog their way up to Tuba IV

Mathematics is the fundamental way humanity may undrstnd & dscribe the universe. It is a language, tool, & more. It holds a unique position.
-
Time is limited. I'd rather not waste mine learning a language for a country I'll never visit or mastering a tool for a trade not my own.

... Do you live in this universe?

Yes, and it doesn't speak. Humans only talk to themselves and ascribe the words to God. You like math, you learn it. I have no need of it.
-
I do :) It may not speak to you, but you are using math to speak. Mathematics & physics underlies computation, electricity, the internet.
-
I don't ascribe any words to a deity.

what an embarrassing piece. Is English about something? it is a language; just like mathematics.

Math is poorly taught, but vital even for non-scientists. Don't disparage what you don't comprehend.
