Brent: excellent comix and very very true. Explain America? ... Would you include geometry into math? e.g. trigonometry?
We had all that in the 1930s in high school, including algebra and integrals/differentials. Of course that all beside 8 years of Latin (incl. old-Roman studies) 7 years German (not too efficient) and 4 years French - or Greek, I spoke French at the end pretty fluently. My geography is still close to perfect, only history was deficient (what I don't regret: IMO history is the study of lies). Physix and Chem was mediocre, but we SANG. And we had SOME phys. education (basket ball incl.) My Ph.D. (1948) was in all chem, - exptl. physics and - math, the 2nd one (D.Sc.1967) IN specialty polymers (Ion Exchangers). Thanks for the back-and-forth drawings.
