When Andrew Hacker published an op-ed in the New York Times
questioning the requirement of advanced mathematics in schools, it
instantly became one of the paper's most widely circulated
articles. Why, he wondered, do we inflict algebra, geometry,
trigonometry, and even calculus on all young Americans, regardless
of their interests and aptitudes? In response to the controversy
sparked by his ideas, Hacker fleshed out his arguments in The Math
Myth, which Diane Ravitch has hailed as an 'important book'.
