                          Is America in a Math Crisis?

   by Bernard Shusman

   It is often said mathematics is a cornerstone of learning.
   Communications, computer science, the arts, the Internet, space
   exploration - all are based on underlying mathematical concepts. In its
   most recent international survey, the Programme for International
   Student Assessment (PISA) ranked the United States in 27th place for
   student performance in math. What are the causes and what is being done
   about it? VOA's Bernard Shusman has more from New York.
