Sure. But even then, it took hundreds of years to be ubiquitous enough for high school students to be taught it with any appreciable use. I'm very unsure if the math that's at the current fringes will ever reach that level of ubiquity.

Do you think the pyramids were made by dragging blocks of stone?
The method is not so much of interest as the functions. They could have been dragged and placed. They could have been floated via sonic manipulation. They could have been popped out of a giant vessel whole. I honestly don't care so much about that.
