Only vaguely related, but I've made it all the way through high school (doing the 2 hardest of three maths subjects) and a software development degree without ever having a lesson on Matrices.
There really seems to be a hole in the system somewhere.
- jandrese 10y agoYou missed Algebra?
- umanwizard 10y agoWhat country did you go to high school in? I could kinda imagine what you say happening in the US, but calling it "maths" instead of "math" implies you're elsewhere.
- 27182818284 10y agoI mean, yeah and I never use an array ints since school, but I still work as a developer. However, I'm sure some folks in other areas certainly do. I'm not sure anymore as I get older that it is really a hole in a negative way. Like yes, it is a hole, but you know, you can't learn everything in your finite time.
- microcolonel 10y agoYeah, matrices are also very useful. Instead of needing the "Tribonacci" equation definition, you can approximate or exactly match a large number of equations and operations with matrices. Anyway, there are many things missing. I feel that An Introduction to Law and Legal Reasoning should be standard middle-school reading; but alas, civics has not been part of the curriculum in my life time.
