Wow, that’s real nice. I’m glad I had algebra, I actually found it fun. But unless you’re a engineer, architect, etc, I can see what simpsonfan’s saying. In a lot of work, you can get away with basic math skills. Stats seemed more everyday useful, but hated it.
Exactly. “We” didn’t build it. People with that expertise use algebra to build for the rest of us, while we use different skills. The point being, most of us don’t use big ol’ algebraic equations everyday.
