Not saying math is being dumbed down but when I was a kid it was y=mx+c but now they teach y=mx+b That's a whole letter grade, nonmath ppl!
@gnat huh, weird. Seems like you'd want to maintain consistency with +c constants when teaching calculus say. When did this change?

@starsandrobots Mrs 45 says it was +b in the Dark Ages when she was in American high school... Do we trust her memory? -
@gnat oh, I do. I also learned as +b but I don't see the benefit in retrospect given option of consistency with +c
