I mean, Calculus is 300 years old. The only "new" thing is common core "subtraction".

It has plenty of originality, it's just that new developments are way beyond the scope of 99.999% of the population.

As I posted elsewhere, it's not "new" either. It's essentially the math of the abacus that's been known for thousands of years.

Now using graph theory to solve redistricting problems. That's new. Wink

This, but I assume this is just a Simfan troll thread.

That new Common Core stuff counts as originality surely. It's got a bunch of new numbers like  and  and subtraction is now called "negative additional matrixation" and it's all very confusing.

In another thread it said that subtract would be called decrease. That doesn't seem too confusing. Smiley

I mean, I was joking but I'm obviously appalled that they actually are changing what subtraction is called. I'm too set in my ways.
