It's hard to read through this without punching someone.
GG America for lowering your standards. Indian Education is shit (95% STEM graduates aren't ready for work after getting their masters), but compared to USAmericans, they will be rocket scientists if you continue with this political correctness bullshit.

I am glad that Sheep uses a name. Just from seeing that he's the one who posted something, you can immediately tell that something is wrong or a lie.

technical procedures that most college students will never use, either in college or in life.
I could rite a book about why the 2nd course in Algebra is all important. Of course if the high school student wants to end up limited in job opportunities or plans on ending up in college so they can teach some unimportant subject - I said I could rite a book but won't.

The fact that people don't realize it baffles me. There's almost nothing to do in STEM besides being a shitty code monkey if you don't get a hang on algebra. Reading this make me realize what I need to introduce in my job interview questionary.

Forgive anon b, he failed algebra so all he could study was poli sci and gender studies.

Given Intermediate Algebra is the first time one spends quality time on functions and for that matter a chance to enter the world of Calculus without actually doing Calculus - At the time I was taking that course I was in serious use/need of the math for my hobby Ham Radio. Alas some of the major mistrakes I made in things like moon bounce was the inability to appreciate complex functions that required Calculus - Major mistrakes I made in hardware resulted in doing Exactly the Opposite of what I was supposed 2do. I even spent money on fancy stuff that only made things more worse for results.
Code monkeys without a background in serious math wood never be able to program important stuff. They could code nice websites n such.

WE ALL No the only way you can arrive at such conclusion is to have Trump as your lord and master - Fake news is wot drives you.
You remind me of that poster that wanted a PhD in Languages - At best he could only hope to do was just a little less than the Google translator does and he was not even brite nuff to learn Asian language he needed when he needed it.
But he was brite nuff to end up going to a country just to catch Tuberculous so he could lose weight cause he was not smart nuff to just get diet rite n exercise

My interest in maths was also sparked by radio during high school (graduated in radio communications), and to be more specific, radio modulations and demodulations, signal filters etc.
Unfortunately, the last time I had the fun of using any of that knowledge was when I coded up a guitar sound synth for shits and giggles. I wish I had more to do with radio for a living, but can't have it all in life.
But yeah, "web development" is pretty much the ceiling if you're a developer with shitty maths knowledge.

Hey it took me half a life time + in my Engineering career to end up in Modulations demodulations, signal filters FOR actual radio use. For much of my career my specialty was Imaging Radar - Synthetic aperture radar - It was strongly suggested I move to MIT from UCLA to take a couple3 courses from wot is now the founder of Qualcomm - Returned home to Hughes Malibu Research labs to apply the principles of CDMA to Imaging Radar and was fortunate to use all the elements I used to play with in Radio but for a totally different application - I brag about being able with a lab and 3 days to turn a Cell phone into a camera yet remove the lens take remarkable photos with the phone.
So it was many many years later b4 I got back into Radio re Cell phone technology and actually that was the very first time in career I was able to do exactly wot I did as a kid but of course for huge amounts of money which engineers never really think about when it comes to work.
And as to Signal filters - Currently I have huge chunks of breadboards piled high with Cavity filters - One day when CPU's have exceeded Moore's law Or something other than Silicon or 40 cores are possible those chunks of mechanical hardware aka Cavities will no longer be required.
Splatter Does Matter Also CDMA has been for a large part been replaced by ODFM .
My major moon bounce mistrakes were the result of adding Filters to narrow up the bandwidth so I could find the return signal. At the time I had no sense about phase shifts from the filters and real time delay added by the Collins Mechanical filters at the time. Also I kept building larger antenna arrays - I did that for signal gain on the received side but again had no clue about doppler shit from wind - Frequency of the return signal kept jumping out of my filters bandwidth so I had double the trouble on receive but it only dawned on me wayyy later in my career - YET all that was covered in text books I was reading at the time - I just needed a sound background in the math which I had to skim over when I read the books

@previous (I)"SPELLING"
"I don't see any use in having a uniform and arbitrary way of spelling words. We might as well make all clothes alike and cook all dishes alike. Sameness is tiresome; variety is pleasing. I have a correspondent whose letters are always a refreshment to me, there is such a breezy unfettered originality about his orthography. He always spells Kow with a large K. Now that is just as good as to spell it with a small one. It is better. It gives the imagination a broader field, a wider scope. It suggests to the mind a grand, vague, impressive new kind of a cow."

"...ours is a mongrel language which started with a child's vocabulary of three hundred words, and now consists of two hundred and twenty-five thousand; the whole lot, with the exception of the original and legitimate three hundred, borrowed, stolen, smouched from every unwatched language under the sun, the spelling of each individual word of the lot locating the source of the theft and preserving the memory of the revered crime."
The Rules of Grammar
"I am almost sure by witness of my ear, but cannot be positive, for I know grammar by ear only, not by note, not by the rules. A generation ago I knew the rules---knew them by heart, word for word, though not their meanings---and I still know one of them: the one which says---but never mind, it will come back to me presently."
"Great books are weighed and measured by their style and matter, and not the trimmings and shadings of their grammar."
