Wow.
I spoke yesterday to a mathematics professor at a university here in New York state.
When I asked him what level of mathematical knowledge entering freshmen bring to their course work, he said, "We can't assume that a student knows anything we would want him to know."
Specifically, his students can't do algebra.
They can't set up a two-variable word problem and solve it.
These are college freshmen.
