Calculators, computer programs, and AI, are dumbing down math learning. It will get even better/worse (take yer pick).Do you know what the Epsilon/Delta proof is? ... that's the start of college level mathematics ... everything that comes before is arithmetic, adding and multiplying, we expect 9-year-olds to have master these operators ... the third operator is differentiation ... do nurses need to know what a function's derivative is? ...
Maybe not, but to say differentiation is too difficult for medical professionals ... then we'll have our lives in the hands of just anyone ...
Some colleges graduate folks without making them pass a college math class ... maybe we don't need Englishing classes either ... spelting is overratted ...
