And so it happens to be just about everywhere.

But at the same time, no one can pinpoint where do I use it in everyday life.

good enough math what is good enough math to get along to get by i would say i think that people have to be versed in algebra i think that algebra is a good primer great is the equivalent of the third grade uh reading level okay for mathematics right and the reason why is because when you start to get into other sciences such as biology physics um any of your stem majors really yes sir

Uh, the language is actually happening inside of algebra.

And so then these other, uh, techniques are these other tools such as calculus and et cetera.

Those are also kind of happening on top of algebra, but like, uh, the challenge is, is that it's harder to determine where, uh, it's being applied as much as, uh, algebra since algebra is just about everywhere.

Well, so I've got a PhD in math and computer science.

Our system starts with counting and then goes through algebra.

So what we do is we treat mathematics as a language.

Right on.

And by doing that, what we're hoping to do is we're hoping to get the student to understand the teacher in the classroom because...

If we can do that, then the student can participate in class and actually math time becomes fun.

So instead of something where it's like, when am I going to use this?

It turns into something like, well, this is an interesting problem to solve.

So like, I mean, because these things are occurring as language, I don't think there's a lot of struggle behind it because...

You're talking about the concrete thing that's happening underneath the numbers, right?

So like, give me five things, give me four more things.

Sure.

That's the exhibition of addition.

You see what I'm saying?
