Question
Replace with or replace for?
Sentence: I want to replace algebra (with/for) trigonometry.
If I use the word with, then does that's an I want trigonometry and not algebra? If I use the word for, then does that mean I want algebra and not trigonometry?
Any rules?

with = not algebra
for = not trig
However, "for" version is a little awkward.
"I want to take algebra instead of trigonometry" would be better.
