This is for a social studies class
The actual high school math curriculum addressees the usual algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics.

Directly from their handout:
“Western mathematics as the only legitimate expression of mathematical identity and intelligence”.
As an Engineer I never knew there was “Western” mathematics. Guess I went to a bad school? I was always taught that math was a universal language, silly me.
This afternoon I’ll rework all my budgets using “Eastern” mathematics, maybe my profit margins will improve? Hell, I might even speak with our accountants, perhaps they can change the generally accepted forms of accounting. I might end up being a millionaire by the end of the day?

Thank you, perhaps I over reacted to what I read, but still it is stupid, even for social studies.
