my college algebra courses Sorry, I meant my college calculus courses, although incidentally the statement applies to both. I think colleges would be much better off teaching introductory math as "applied". I got significantly more out of statistics, because that class taught us how to spot problems where that branch of mathematics is applicable. I really liked how Udacity used real-life orbit calculations from various space missions as assignments. It gives the whole thing some context.
