The Need for Mathematics in a Changing World
“We live in a time of extraordinary and accelerating change. New knowledge, tools, and ways of doing and communicating mathematics continue to emerge and evolve. Calculators, too expensive for common use in the early eighties, now are not only commonplace and inexpensive but vastly more powerful. Quantitative information available to limited numbers of
people a few years ago is now widely disseminated through popular media outlets. The need to understand and be able to use mathematics in everyday life and in the workplace has never been greater and will continue to increase.”
