Just explaining the pure mathmatical roots isn't always done, or cross field relations. It drives me insane when you use cross field tools, and when you bring up, Oh so we're doing X but with Y.

The response is often, No we do X because of Z. Which often you're learning Z. So now you just feel lost and confused. Its not 2 classes later until you'll learn A maps Y to Z and X is actually an operation of A so it applies to both.

I guess it's just me but the joy of math has always been its tangled relationships to itself.
