I always ask what real world applications algebra has. My dad told me that it trains your mind to problem solve.
Algebra is a waste if time unless you plan to design the next Mars landing. Or you want to make people think you're really smart.
I remain unimpressed by it because it's virtually useless.
Yeah. I don't see how it's useful in real life. The only math I use in RL is the basics,add,subtract,multiply, and dividing.
You'll need it to get through college. But that's where it ends.
