I had always thought Algebra was the “easy math”, but when I look at the course offerings at many universities in Algebra, theory in algebra, there is sooooo much more. Theoretical topics that are not even touched upon in high school. Math has literally turned into endless plug-in-chug problems that don’t teach kids the meaning of the equations they use 100000000 times.

When we first learned the quadratic equation a long time ago, he just gave it to us and told us to copy it down. That was all we learned about it, because that’s all we needed to know to get through the course.
