I your opinion what percentage of the population is capable of learning and passing algebra?
I am thinking of the many people liberal arts majors in my college who barely passed the most rudimentary required math courses for arts majors. These liberal arts majors are **college** students, and a goodly percentage do go on to earn degrees. If they struggle, then what percentage should be a realistic expectation for the general population?
Realistically, what percentage of the population is even capable of learning algebra?
Algebra? No idea. I learned it at 11. I’d think at least anyone with an average IQ should be able to manage basic algebra. I mean, if you can handle fractions you can handle basic algebra concepts. Algebra is hardly esoteric knowledge. It doesn’t even require a calculator.
