    You’re not going to college level math to do basic calculations. You’re going to college level math because you need to learn how to actually fully understand and apply mathematical concepts.

      I hear this all the time that there’s some profound mathematical concept that I had to go to college to learn … what exactly is that lesson? What math lessons have changed your life specifically?

      Also the comment I was replying to was about doing math. Mathematical “concepts” aren’t exactly “doing math.”
