<p>But what grade did you learn Newton’s method? Heck, I don’t remember anything about a “Newton’s method”. Part of the problem, as I see it, is that math classes don’t go back and review concepts from earlier years. Those of you who remember are lucky. If I thought my daughter would learn all the basics she’s forgotten, or how to do problems without a calculator, I’d be more than thrilled to have her take a remedial class. I just don’t see it happening. The name of the “remedial” class is Elementary Algebra 2.</p>
