"The way we think" is more fundamental than even the calculus level. Basic algebra and geometry bridge the gap between collections of memorized facts and a systematic way of formulating problems.

My employer blocks the Firefox install and update sites. The want us to use only their outdated and crippled version, which is "approved" but not "supported".
