The time will come that math will become an elective in an engineering curriculum.
Math as an elective for an Engineering Major?! O.M.G., I probably should not be laughing. That, my friend is what they call appealing to the Lowest Common Denominator, what the merciful, enlighted folks now call, the Low Information Voter. They don’t know, and they DON’T WANT TO KNOW.
Just today I saw a scene on HGTV where some guy was trying to show a young woman ( A phys ed teacher ) how to cut some boards. He wanted her to measure “something and 5/8” inches, but she declared herself unable to understand 5/8. He asked her to try, and she pointed to 5/16. “No, he said, that’s 5/16.” She actually started to count off 5/8, but lost her way at around 3/8. “Oh! I can’t do math!” she exclaimed, “I’m just a phys ed teacher!”
So you see, it’s not really about MATH, is it?
