Mathematics Education for the Flat World: What Should We Be Teaching Our Children for Life in the 21st Century?

Join the discussion on our mathematical future. What kinds of mathematical skills will the citizen of tomorrow require? Are we providing our children with the mathematical education that will most benefit them? Are there any lessons to be learned from history?
Keith Devlin's first lecture at The Tech Museum sold out!   With his smart and funny presentation style bringing math alive, NPR's Math Guy returns for another great lecture.
Dr. Devlin is co-founder and executive director of Stanford University's H-STAR Institute, and is a World Economic Forum Fellow and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His current research focuses on the use of different media to teach and communicate mathematics. He has written 31 books, including the recently published "The Man of Numbers: Fibonacci's Arithmetic Revolution" and over 80 published research articles. He has received the Pythagoras Prize, the Peano Prize, the Carl Sagan Award, and the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics Communications Award. He is "The Math Guy" on National Public Radio.
His talk will be followed by a conversation with Angie Coiro.
