Two simple true or false questions!?
1. Americans are real good at practical Math applications: Making do useful work.
True or false!
2. Americans are lousy at theoretical Math. They care less how a formula is derived.
True or false.
That's for the answers. Had one of my teacher tell me that when I was going to school over seas. I'd asked her what good was theorums since they were not laws because they weren't right 100% of the time.
Then I notice when I'd have to turn my lab classes of to my T.A.'s inorder to teach a Math class that as long as I could relate it to an engineering problem the students were all eye balls and ears. But as soon as got into theorums it was ho hum like they could care less.
