The biggest advantage for the students would be if you would not split up math into algebra, calculus, etc. The equation
x^3 = 27 (calculating the volume of a cube)
is an application of the equation of
x^y = z (potentiate a number)
which is an application of the equation
f(x) = y (apply a function)
The solution is simply
x = f-inverse(y)
if f is invertible.
As this simple example shows math on high school level can not splitted up into geometry, algebra, calculus, etc. Understanding one of these areas helps to understand the others and vice versa. If you want to master one of them you have to master all of them at the same time, with the same speed, parallel.
