Ok. First I'm not taking lessons from anyone who plagiarizes. This is a re-write of: http://j2kun.svbtle.com/you-never-did-math-in-high-school http://j2kun.svb

Ok. First I'm not taking lessons from anyone who plagiarizes. This is a re-write of: http://j2kun.svbtle.com/you-never-did-math-in-high-school http://j2kun.svbtle.com/you-never-did-math-in-high-school Which may also be someone's work, but it was one I read recently. Second, I learned some Calculus in school, how about you? That is not a subject a 1000 years old. So we haven't been teaching it that way for 1000 years. Third, did this guy not have story problems? Applied Math is basically what this author is claiming we don't have. Fourth, Graphing is pretty new. We didn't use to visualize plots because we didn't have the resources, I can't tell you when that became part of algebra, but it was in the past 100 years. I can't believe LA Times ran such a poorly informed piece.
