Arthur Benjamin discusses the problem with the Math Curriculum in this country. I also think it is a problem, and the information students are learning is not sticking with them, because it is not useful and not interesting. I can truthfully say that I don’t remember half of the math that I learned in high school. Teachers taught what you needed to know for the test and then moved on to the next subject, making it easy to forget material. Arthur thinks that schools should aim more towards probability and statistics, because very little people use calculus on a day-to-day basis, and it is no help to people. Statistics is all about understanding data, and if more people knew more about statistics and probability, Arthur said this country might not be in as big as an economic mess that it is right now. He also states that teaching match can be fun with probability and statistics by using games, gambling and predicting. Math curriculum needs to change to become more modern, just like clocks changed from analog to digital.
