I realize that mathematicians can make everyone very tired because we are more interested in the foundations and shape of the containers than their contents.

We teach students how to complete the square to solve quadratics ... mostly so they can prove the quadratic formula for themselves.

But often these students don't even really understand that if a*b=0 that means a, b or both must be 0 or how that is at all relevant to "finding x"
