...need skilled workers to build the houses and engineers to design the infrastructure, so you're gonna hear a lot from me about education. I'm not entirely kidding when I say you shouldn't be able to get a driver's license unless you've passed algebra...
...given packets with exercises they can complete at their own pace. Once students complete the packets, they turn it in for a grade and, depending on that grade, students get packets of the same level or of the next level in the Kumon curriculum. Kumon covers everything from basic algebra all the way up to differential calculus...
Math 55, officially known as “Honors Advanced Calculus and Linear Algebra,” is essentially a nine-month mathematical boot camp. The course teaches four years of math in two semesters. “It’s an intense, warp-speed survey of the entire undergraduate math curriculum in one year,” Harrison says...
...inability to offer moral response. Yet Benedict's argument was slapdash and flawed. His sage, Ibn Hazm, turned out to have belonged to a school with no current adherents, and although reason's primacy is debated in Islam, it is very much part of the culture that developed algebra. Paleologus' forced-conversion accusation misrepresents the sweep of Muslim history, since more often than not, Islam has left religious groups in conquered territory intact, if hobbled. And assuming that a punctilious scholar like Benedict really wanted to engage on Islam and violence, why do it through the idiosyncratic lens...
...more purely illustrative than instructive. It seems as though a separate book should be written for the three issues he discusses, namely neighborhood racial tensions, social interaction, and gene selection.

What’s more, there is no final chapter that ties the first two halves of the book together, binding theory and commentary. Had Schelling done that, the book would have been more memorable...
