    Math is about nothing. Math is the "Seinfeld" of high school education, an anti-algebra political scientist argues.http://nyer.cm/ozUghJx

        I thought that while high school. But as a Machinist and someone who transfers and reacts thousands lbs of hazardous chem daily, math=safety

        I thought that way until I trained as a machinist. It is a constant barrage of numbers. 3.1416 and MM/25.4 to convert foreign dimensions.

        Early introduction of applied math, abject constructivism, is the key to teaching algebra. Teach it better. Math is everything.

        Given the staggering lack of logic in both political & public debates re science, learning non-beginner math seems more important than ever.

        Math is not just useful, not just essential for logic or engineering. Math is beautiful, as sublime as the greatest poetry. Math rocks!

        Mathematics is the language of science. It is a universal language that transcends all others in describing our world. Stop this ignorance.
