- jleyank 4y agoPhysical chemistry, physical organic chemistry, physics... These things need far more than basic calc. I also think that basic algebra is something that people can use in daily life. Not quadratic equation in the like, but determining things like unit prices, handling interest, etc. Simple things that take a little more than a calculator. And I recall needing variables when doing statistics - isn't that algebra? And it's real hard to program a whole lot of stuff on a computer w/o algebra.
