"The U.S. is at the bottom of math education and nobody seems to know how to fix it."

-Jimmy Fallon

"The number system in English is highly irregular. Not so in China, Japan and Korea. They have a logical counting system. Eleven is ten one. Twelve is ten two. Twenty-four is two ten four, and so on."

-Malcolm Gladwell
From the #1 New York Times Bestselling book, Outliers

From the Wall Street Journal
