My introductory physics class in college included a problem that investigated the effects of "2d" gravity (a generic attractive force proportional to 1/r instead of 1/r^2) on a point mass in the plane.
When the professor mentioned that I could write all the vectors as complex numbers, and do regular old algebra with them, my brain almost melted.

By ensuring that all they learn in school is just arithmatic and keeping the debate to "are calculators good/bad" we stop all the kids being interested in math and so keep it all to ourselves ....evil genius laugh ......
