Topic	It's been a while. How do you feel about common core math?
SinisterSlay 11/04/23 2:37:20 PM #26:	shadowsword87 posted... Math is honestly about problem solving and learning how to show why you think something's wrong or right. Which people skip over into it being purely about algebraic numbers. I blame calculus personally, and everyone saying it's the be-all end-all of mathamatics. Algebra in my day was taught so stupidly. Letters, missing symbols, and moving parts around. It never made sense to me and still doesn't. Also I do it 100s of times a day in programming. Nearly every single line you write in code is ultimately c = a + b. But the way it's represented and explained in algebra is beyond useless. --- He who stumbles around in darkness with a stick is blind.
