Yea, I saw that in your later posts. I agree. When it’s embedded in us, we simply don’t know we’re using it. Trig is definitely different, since we’re looking at sines and cosines, etc. But Algebra doesn’t own any symbols (other than, maybe, “x”, but we don’t even need to think about “x” when doing those problems).
