Abstract:
We live amidst jolting economic and societal change. Mathematicians have a critical role in addressing the nation’s economic transition. To be internationally competitive and provide livable wages, the U.S. workforce will need to be more educated. Universities are beginning to undertake significant changes to address severe financial constraints and enhance degree completion. As the single most important gateway courses to bachelor degree completion, transforming mathematics education is crucial to attaining larger societal objectives.
