Journal of College Reading and Learning, v33 n2 p214-30 Spr 2003

Includes three responses to David Lemire's article "Math Problem Solving and Mental Discipline." Contends that quality mathematics instruction should result in citizens capable of functioning productively in this highly technological, capitalistic, and democratic society. Proposes that mathematics is very relevant for real-life problem solving. Notes that the general public's aversion to mathematics needs to be acknowledged. (PM)
