attached is a link to a BBC item comparing educational standards in China and the UK , it give 2 basic math questions for college bound students, one from China the other from the UK , if the UK question is typical of 'A' level math (usually required for science courses) all I can say is God help us all ,
no disrespect , but a 1st year apprentice Brickie used to know this stuff
