The public institutions in the US have become extremely competitive due to private institutions becoming cost prohibitive. I know that in my state that the public universities are becoming harder to get accepted into than many private institutions. Many private colleges have had their enrollments fall.so.much that they have been forced to close.

Why do Americans have to pay so much for College???
by RubaDub ini know there is a huge college/university lobby here in the us that lives off of students paying, in some cases, enormous amounts of money just to attend.. putting politics aside, if that is possible, (and i am not a bernie sanders guy by any means), but how can we pay for pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high, high school, and then throw a huge debt to someone who wants to continue learning?
can't the us (public and state universities) afford four more years for young people to get on a career path without having to, in some cases, take out a mortgage/loan more than the cost of some homes?
then, (and nothing against immigrants, i am married to one), but then the us has to "import" students from other countries to fill the needs that we should be supplying here.

Why Does So Much Intellectual Innovation in the US Tend to Come from the East or West Coasts ???
by RubaDub inthere are many good universities in the central part of the us but why do so many innovative things, i.e.
silicon valley, seem to happen on one side of the country or the other (california, new york, massachusetts to name a few)?
even what is considered the most high tech area in the center of the country, austin texas, is a huge liberal bastion.

Ah but Giordano you do not live in an algebra free world. The programs that run the computer you are using to communicate, uses algebra as a basis. The dosage of the medication you take, is calculated with the use of algebra. The whole you live in was built using trigonometry.
let me give you an example
Your Dr prescribes medication based on your body weight
He uses an equation similar to the following
x= (dosage per pound of patients body weight) = 5mg
y= Patients body weight body weight expressed as kilograms
So yx = Patients dosage
So if a patient weighs 100kg y would = 100
X = 5mg
So yx would = 500mg
Besides all the practical uses for algebra ,algebra teaches logic skills.

My layout is n gage and occupies 5 8x4 sheets of plyboard in my basement. It models the city of Boston and has spurs that run into the countryside replicating travel and freight between Maine and Connecticut. The railroads represented in my lay out include the Boston and Maine, New Haven ,New York Cental, Conrail, Amtrak and the MBTA.
