Which of these subjects is not mentioned in Sam Cooke's hit 'Wonderful World'?
Wonderful World Lyrics:
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book,
Don't know much about the french I took
But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
What a wonderful world this would be
Don't know much about geography,
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra,
Don't know what a slide rule is for
But I do know that one and one is two,
And if this one could be with you,
What a wonderful world this would be
Now, I don't claim to be an "A" student,
But I'm tryin' to be
For maybe by being an "A" student, baby,
I can win your love for me
As you can see Mathematics is not mentioned.

Last time I looked, algebra and trigonometry were branches of mathematics.

Aren’t algebra and trigonometry included in the field of mathematics?

Trig, algebra, and a slide ruler are mathmatics.

Tracy v, Louis Armstrong sang "What a Wonderful World" which is a very different song to Sam Cooke's "Wonderful World".

tesla alset,
Obviously you and I are smarter than the average bears Boo Boo, according to this group. They are not picking up that the word mathematics is not in the song. We are so very very good.😊💋💖

A pleasant song which I used to enjoy singing along to in more pleasant times. Yay me.

Saying that one and one are two is math.

picky, picky picky!!!!!
And I got it wrong, too, for the same reason.

Bad question. As the others have pointed out, trig. is a form of math.
ruthfunk
Not a good question.

Here is a definition of Mathematics I found from Wikipedia:
Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, "knowledge, study, learning") includes the study of such topics as quantity (number theory), structure (algebra), space (geometry), and change (mathematical analysis). It has no generally accepted definition.
Great song though. The question simple needs rephrasing as perhaps emphasizing the, "word," mathematics as opposed to, "subject," matter.
I understand why Diane Gilmore is questioning this quiz question.
