[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in Information Technology, get paid 250K per year for the past ten years, and I have never used math beyond Algebra. [/quote] I was a math major, work in tech, and basically use algebra and statistics. Sure, I use the ability to think that I used in getting a math degree, but if you put a calculus problem in front of me now, there is no way I could solve it. Personally, I think more kids should do multiple years of algebra in high school. Not ALL kids, there are plenty of very mathematically-inclined students who would be bored to tears and who finish calculus in 10th grade or whatever, and that's fine. But it's equally fine to take your time really learning algebraic concepts and mastering them before moving on.[/quote]
