Wrong. Good look fooling around without algebra for years. New methods make old maths easy.

...and even newer methods make old math insanely complicated, but much more generalized. Like building definitions for things like numbers and basic arithmetic using set theory.

No sarcasm. Being able to use numbers, integrals and derivatives makes a huge amount of maths easy. Exponential function and it's relatives are so handy. (Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot, log).

The Greeks didn't have any of that to do their math.
