Re: Is Algebra Necessary?
What does the populace of CD qualify as Algebra?
Its been my experience that while Mathematics instruction has changed due to testing mandates it also no longer covers all the concepts that an entry level Physics course expects.
One of my favorite quotes from a student from this past school year "...Physics is like Algebra if you take away all of the numbers."
The author of the article does have a point there is a large section of the workforce that does not "need" to have an understanding of "advanced" math.
