In yesterday’s Pope Center article, Prof. Robert Blumenthal of Georgia College and State University argues that the mathematics requirement at most colleges and universities these days is just a rehashing of high-school topics. (More evidence for my argument that it’s erroneous to assume that just by getting through college, a student has advanced in knowledge and skills!) What schools should do is create a challenging course for non-majors that will (or at least can) give students a look into the way mathematicians think — their approach to problems. Taught well, such a course could really be mind-expanding, showing students the beauty of mathematical logic.
