Well, I think there are about three reasons: technical jobs so critical to the development of our economies, what I call "everyday living" -- to function in the world today, you've got to be pretty quantitative, much more so than a few years ago: figure out your mortgages, being skeptical of government statistics, those kinds of things -- and thirdly, what I would call something like logical mind training, logical thinking.
我想，这大概有以下三个理由： 一是完成技术工作。 这对我们经济的发展至关重要， 就是我所说的日常生活。 二，要在今天的世界运作， 你就必须比几年前掌握 更多数学知识。 你需要去算你的房贷， 对政府的数据等种种数字保持怀疑。 第三，我把它称作 逻辑思维训练，逻辑思维。
