My 14-year old son is on the verge of completing his freshman year of homeschooling. We are studying algebra this year, but I find that most of it is useless unless a person plans on becoming a rocket scientist or math teacher! What alternatives are there in this field besicdes geometry, calculus and the higher maths. My son has no intention of going to college and I need to find a math that is practical in everyday life. Any suggestions?
