Quantitative literacy is becoming increasingly important not only to STEM-related careers but in the everyday lives of Americans. Educators, policy makers, and others are calling into question the United States' ability to compete globally if the next generations of citizens are not better prepared for a world that relies more on big data, analytics, computation, and problem-solving skills. This project, with the leadership team from the Transforming Post-Secondary Education in Mathematics (TPSE Math) group, will convene a conference of mathematics department chairs and academic leaders from a diverse pool of postsecondary institutions throughout the country. The conference will catalyze reforms both (1) within mathematics, lowering barriers, raising completion rates, and realigning lower division pathways, and (2) between mathematics and other fields, creating upper division pathways that better meet the career demands of students and employers and reshapes the role of mathematics in society and the workplace. A central premise of TPSE Math is that underrepresented segments of society, as marked by gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic status, must become full partners in this effort in order to strengthen the nation's intellectual capacity and economic leadership.

定量素养不仅对于 STEM 相关的职业而且在美国人的日常生活中变得越来越重要。教育工作者、政策制定者和其他人士正在质疑，如果下一代公民没有为一个更加依赖大数据、分析、计算和解决问题技能的世界做好更好的准备，美国的全球竞争能力将如何。该项目由来自中学后数学教育转型 (TPSE Math) 小组的领导团队负责，将召开一次由来自全国各地中学后机构的数学系主任和学术领袖参加的会议。此次会议将促进（1）数学领域的改革，降低障碍，提高完成率，重新调整低年级路径，以及（2）数学与其他领域之间的改革，创建高年级路径，更好地满足学生和雇主的职业需求，并重塑数学在社会和工作场所的作用。 TPSE 数学的一个核心前提是，以性别、种族和社会经济地位为标志的社会弱势群体必须成为这项努力的全面合作伙伴，以加强国家的智力能力和经济领导力。
