How would they know it's fluff if they clearly don't even know what it is?


Let's ask the multi variable calculus class, or Partial differential equations class how many know Arabic numbers. Lets see how many of them know what it is.

They're doing actual math. Not numerical history or anything to that effect. Meaning the class is about the subject header.

btw, how many people know who created the squeeze theorem or the history surrounding the fundamental theorems of calculus both 1 and 2? Even those who took the classes that actually use them? Most of the time, they know how to use those theorems and don't care about the other stuff.

the point is they know what numbers are. That's enough to do math.
