Why Math?:
Last week, a friend of a student was visiting on campus. She told me
that although she really liked math, she had never really considered
being a math major. Her reason astounded me. She had been told by
her father, a mathematics professor at a state university, that math
was worthwhile preparation only for a teaching career! In the lingo
of our times, that is SO NOT TRUE!
