Universities generally cover a wide range of subjects, focused on an academic field, say mathematics or computer science. And the argument is that if a university degree is a good investment, it ought to be substantially more valuable than the opportunity cost. My argument is that the risk is too high, and the returns too low.

Why Students Need to Learn Problem-Solving Problem-solving is the foundation of critical thinking. This method forces students to think deeply to solve problems while applying concepts and scenarios. This is a great way to sharpen students’ thinking skills as they approach different problems and perspectives.

In the original article, I gave a list of what computing skills mathematics majors should learn and when they should learn them. If anything, over the past seven years, my feelings about the centrality of computing in the mathematics major have gotten even more entrenched. Instead, bring it in and teach students how to use it well.

In its current form, school algebra serves as a gatekeeper to higher-level mathematics. Researchers and policy makers have pushed to open that gate—providing more students access to algebra, focusing in particular on those students historically denied access to higher-level mathematics.
