Precisely why the western ruling class don’t want their peasants learning maths, because maths also gives people the critical thinking and logical reasoning skills to see right through their idiotic bullshit.
It’s the same why the church fiercely resisted science during the dark ages, stupid people are easier to rule over as they can be easily brainwashed into thinking the least you can be bothered to do for them and provide for them is the best they can hope for (this is why American leaders are so obsessed with spamming the ‘greatest country on earth’ mantra, if America is the greatest, then be happy with what you got and don’t even fucking dream about asking for better!)
A well educated and critically thinking populous is so much harder to please and satisfy that ruling over them just feels way too much like actual hard work for the privileged western elite.
They really took their best ideas from 1984, Brave New World, and Snow Crash, huh. I always found it hilariously ironic how George Orwell's works are constantly brandished by the West to attack China and Russia but they don't even realize it's exactly what has happened to them.
Precisely this,
The anglosphere with the possible exception of the UK has always been anti-intellectual; it's the reason why they've had to import the rest of the 'brains' from the rest of the world and inducing such a setup by instigating conflict and wars in the rest of the world.
In the meantime, the privileged stupidity of the Anglo Ruling Class conferred the calibre of populism in America's own Caesar: Trump.
I just realized that music is directly from Made in Abyss. Fucking knew I heard it somewhere before.
they are using copyright music? Well it’s not like they haven’t tried stealing whatever they want.

This is a really lazy argument: if you don't want to do something, just claim that doing it is playing China's book.
My personal opinion is that linear algebra is not that hard once you understand the concept of vector.

Maybe, but the way universities teach it to undergrads is not helping at all.

I had no trouble with linear algebra, but I can't integrate for the life of me. I had no problem with math until I came to that part.
. That's the book used for graduate level mathematical physics class. But I think that's OK since most people forget most of what they learn, you typically learn more than you need to so that when you forget most of it, you'll degrade down to the level you'll need.
If you finish trigonometry, you'll only remember simple algebra. Like most high school graduates.
If you finish calculus, you'll know mostly trig and more complex algebra. Like most BS graduates.
If you finish the bullshit I did, you'll know basic calculus very well at least.
I also think that I only learned computation and derivation, not real math. Real math is proofs based.
