The tertiary students who will become automotive mechanics specialize in

Well, we no longer have this in NSW. There is this bleat to have ALL
students do their higher school certificate. So you can now do a
mechanics apprenticeship as part of your HSC. Basically they replace the
mechanics maths course with the useless basic general course.

Classes that are likely to major in science subjects get to learn
algebra and calculus.

Umm, algebra is basic stuff.


How often do you use algebra during your daily life?

Well there's 'kitchen math', figuring the carb content of something I
eat, and I do a lot of modification of knitting patterns.
