In fact, solving equations (of the types that have known algorithms for solution) is purely mechanical. The intellectual part of applied math is translating problems into the language of math. All the rest machines can do.
We all know this to be true. HOWEVER, how many students can do this today? Students are bombarded daily with insane mechanics to pass standardized exams with little to no focus on ACTUAL LEARNING. They call it TEACHING THE TEST.
