Quote of the Day

First,  education  is  not  solely  about  the  acquisition  of  speci c  tools  to  use  in  a  subsequent  career. As one of the greatest creations of human civilization, mathematics should be taught alongside science, literature,  history,  and art in order to pass along the jewels of our culture from one generation to the next.  We humans are far more than the jobs we do and the careers we pursue. Education is a preparation for life, and only part of that is the mastery of specic work skills.
