Most of calculus is algebra though. If you're good at algebra calculus is a cake walk. In fact most math boils down to only arithmetic and algebra. Functions, courtesan plan, nominals, quadratic, ration expressions, radicals, imaginary. Algebra is the foundation of calculus

>> No.9421543

>>9421528
Wrong. Algebra is about the algebraic properties of [math] \mathbb{R} [/math] and [math] \mathbb{R} [/math] derived objects. Calculus is about the analytic properties of [math] \mathbb{R} [/math] and [math] \mathbb{R} [/math] derived objects.

If you mean that to solve problems you need to combine calculus with algebra then you are correct, but then you could also say "Most of calculus is counting. If you're good at counting, calculus is a cake walk" which means nothing.

White people have had it too good for too long. Their race is degrading slowly but surely. Eventually, we must make the decision to cut them out. Forcefully take away any position of power from white people and immediately replace them with people of color if we wish to save this nation.

Do it too soon and the political chaos may cause anarchy. Do it too late and the effects will be catastrophic. I just hope whoever is in charge of executing this change is a very wise man.
