I think it's problematic that you are failing to take a more intersectional view of math in our communities and working families.




Did I miss any buzzwords?

Someone send a tweet to Dr. Peterson, see what he thinks about it.

Okee spent $42 for a textbook, a kale salad, and a Hallmark card for his wife. This was $14 less than twice what ND spent on Lone Star for the fishing weekend. How much was ND's beer budget?

I slap you in the face, and demand that you speak clearly.

Roll a dexterity check.

42 = 2x-14

This is the level of math we're being told is a violation of civil rights.

No. You know very well that college-level algebra is more than that.

I was going to try and type out an example, but my phone would end up smashed. You know what I'm talking about.

This is community college level algebra. Believe me, I know exactly what it is.

Talking more about this stuff. Useful in engineering, and not much else.

And yes, I remember more or less how to do it, but I have no use for it other than personal interest.

That's just kindergarten stuff.

For digital signal processing code used in something like a base radio for a wireless network, you deal with stuff like Fourier series:




For my machine learning code I have been writing the backpropagation library was based on some differential equations and algebra:




What you posted pretty much everybody should be able to do who has a high school diploma. It's not anywhere near engineering-level mathematics.

The stuff I encountered in graduate school was brutal compared to this stuff I posted here. This is just run of the mill mathematics.

That is 10th grade, algebra 2 level, at most. Probably more like algebra 1.

Engineering. Not something you'd encounter with a high school degree.
