N1 - An apparent trend in university mathematics courses is that students approach mathematical problems methodically without understanding the context. A large contributor to this trend is the lack of true connections with real applications in most college-level algebra courses. For those students pursuing a STEM degree, this disconnect is often perpetuated in later courses in their major.
