    You overestimate the minimum level of math required to graduate high school (in the United States).

    Well…no, I don’t, because I graduated HS in the United States…

    You overestimate the level of math required to complete your taxes. Because there’s nothing more complicated than basic multiplication and division.

      I agree. A 1040 is just a long arithmetic word problem.

      I was disagreeing with you saying that high schools teach everyone trigonometry and advanced algebra.

        Well, I didn’t say that so…
