I’d argue this could embedded into an existing math curriculum instead. Most people could use this more than an advanced algebra class.

- GordonS 6y agoWay back when I was at school, my biggest issue with maths classes was that I never saw the point - like, what would I ever actually do with logarithmic equations in real life? I'd always ask the maths teacher whenever we started a new subject, and even he had no idea. It was all just so theoretical - seemingly pointless. I found it much more interesting to study things with practical implications, and I also think embedding financial literacy into maths might be a good idea. I'll add that I did of course eventually find uses for some of the things I was taught in maths class: path finding algorithms for a game AI, neural networks, genetic algorithms, all sorts. But in class, I didn't know any of these uses.
