Because 99% of math is basic calculations.
0.9% are 100-200 level math problems.
0.1% are beyond that, but at that point, hopefully your 200 level skills have taught you enough to learn about solving that.
In my lifetime, I only had 1, beyond 200 level problem that required research on math to understand. And technically, it was optional, but I volunteered.
Everything else was algebra.
