Even the polynomials we do use are very limited, until much later. We don't factor polynomials; we don't compute residues. They're just formulas with numbers in and numbers out. We may solve for various parts, but nearly always just for a single variable of power 1.
- milesrout 2y agoYou need to take some physics in high school, and IIRC you do enough that you encounter equations of motion such as f=ma and E=(1/2)mv^2 etc. We do factor polynomials: we do it in year 10/11 at least in NZ, and our maths education is very poor compared to places like Singapore and Finland, as far as I know.
