The Math(s) Fix
The Math(s) Fix: An Education Blueprint for the AI Age is a 2020 book by British technologist and entrepreneur Conrad Wolfram. It argues for a fundamental shift in the way mathematics education is taught in schools, advocating for a curriculum that emphasizes a computational education and computer-based mathematics education for 21st-century problem-solving skills with computers in the classroom, rather than manual handwritten calculation techniques.
