"Algebra II", Thursday, Period 4

[electrocynic]

Electroclash, standing at the front of the classroom looking uncomfortable in her teacher uniform, didn't know the first fucking thing about algebra. She also hadn't bothered to find out much. Or anything at all. As far as she'd gone was a phonecall back home to Jenny to pester her about coming up with a test for her, and all that had yeilded was a cheerful earful about ethics or a teacher's pride or some other unhelpful bollocks like that.

And now there were lizard things all over her classroom. Because that was about as normal as algebra, wasn't it?

"Right," she said, trying to ignore the animals for now. As if they weren't her problem. "Welcome to your final for... Algebra II. Which we've been studying for an entire term now, so I'm sure you're as well prepared for this exam as I am." Riiiight. "So, you already have your papers, and here's... your exam: Write an essay on what you feel is the most important thing algebra has to give to the world."

Yes.

"Also, extra credit for anyone who gets the most lizards out of here."

Raven knew more about the history of math than how to do the actual math itself, so she was actually able to come up with a vaguely decent essay about what algebra had given the world. Vaguely.

Who knew some of the things she'd learned from Bruce and picked up from Tim in the course of vigilante-ing would end up having some practical normal-world application?

Okay, she probably should've known.

Anyway, Stephanie's essay sort of skewed off from algebra into great feats of engineering, impressive architectural accomplishments (bridges and such), and skyscrapers. There was a lot about the height of skyscrapers. NO REASON.

Lex's exam thoroughly explained numerous real world applications of algebra, before segueing off into a discussion of calculus. Juat because.

Geeeeeeek.

Squall wrote a very short paragraph about how algebra made science possible. Then he got up to do his extra credit.
