re: #464 LudwigVanQuixote

How is algebra skills even remotely part of that discussion? Do you think the mathematics in science papers is all just applying the quadratic formula or something?

You are perhaps aware of several dozen topics after algebra - that are still taught in highschool?

I am not even talking about college level mathematics here.

How can you possibly think this is something advanced? This is exactly like saying that people need to be able to read.

So, it’s all good if we all know high school algebra and retain that knowledge?
