About this listen
Why are we all taught math for years of our lives? Does it really empower everyone? Or does it fail most and disenfranchise many? Is it crucial for the AI age or an obsolete rite of passage?
The Math(s) Fix: An Education Blueprint for the AI Age is a groundbreaking book that exposes why math education is in crisis worldwide and how the only fix is a fundamentally new mainstream subject. It argues that today's math education is not working to elevate society with modern computation, data science, and AI. Instead, students are subjugated to compete with what computers do best and lose.
This is the only book to explain why being bad at math may be as much the subject's fault as the learners: how a stuck educational ecosystem has students, parents, teachers, schools, employers, and policymakers running in the wrong direction to catch up with real-world requirements. But it goes further, too, for the first time setting out a completely alternative vision for a core computational school subject to fix the problem and seed more general reformation of education for the AI age.

A Comprehensive ambitious plan
Conrad Wolfram is a passionate man on a mission and has what others lack: the courage and wherewithall to fix math(s) to bring it into the 21st century.
He points out the necessity and challenges of encouraging children to learn math in the classroom. The difficulty is to keep it relevant and fun.
Any country wanting to be a leading economy today and beyond must look to the development of their intellectual, scientific and engineering capital, but we also need the general population to understand the basics of our mathematical, computing and increasingly AI world.
Conrad, with his brother Stephen, are making their unique mark on the world with remarkable thinking and action. A riveting book.
