Does math really teach you how to think, or is that just what teachers tell you so you’ll study your integrals? In this live interview from the Aspen Ideas Festival, Ira asks mathematicians and educators Jo Boaler, Steve Strogatz, and Jordan Ellenberg if there’s a better way to learn math, and whether it might be time to revamp the age-old curriculum.

Our teachers are certainly 'revamping' the 'old ways'  :)
