No, but if you need an IQ of 100 to master Algebra II that excludes half of the population, and an IQ threshold of 115 would exclude 5/6 of it. The ongoing American experiment of requiring all students to take a college prep curriculum (which would include Algebra II) meeting Common Core standards will be interesting to watch.
