Posted Tuesday, October 2, 2012 If we asked you to find X, you'd
probably think that's an easy one: It's right after W and just
before Y. You'd fail math with an answer like that, but you'd
hardly be alone. It appears many Americans can't find X in an
algebraic equation. A Harvard study says the U.S. lags dozens of
other countries in math. Why do we struggle so much? And what
are educators here doing to change the trend? Tuesday morning at
9:00 on 90.3. Linda Gojak, president, National Council of
Teachers of Mathematics Christopher D. Butler, Director of
Undergraduate Studies, Dept. of Mathematics, Case Western
Reserve University Glen Whitney, executive director, Museum of
Mathematics John Holcomb, chair, Department of Mathematics,
