This book speaks to the societal problem being as true now as nearly any time.
College students in biology and chemistry are particularly at fault for having a negative attitude towards mathematics and using quantitative & logical reasoning.
Education suffers from this bias.
Innumeracy is even more firmly planted in the minds of current inner city college students than ever before. In general, if you want to know why there is such a major inequality in education and identifying the root problem....you need look no further. The inner city culture is all about shortcuts without consequence: The approach is avoid higher math and achievement in it. Even ignore the importance of geometry, trigonometry, and algebra.
