Apparently, the problem in teaching algebra is in teaching people what it is. You use algebra every time you figure out your mileage, your budget, how much paint to buy for the rec room … maybe the glorious declaration should be “Lived my whole life without knowing a damn thing!”

Maybe I use algebra, but if I don’t know that I’m using it, I’d suggest I was NOT taught algebra.
