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.

定量素养不仅对与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。如果下一代公民对更多依赖大数据，分析，计算和解决问题的技能的世界做好准备，那么教育者，政策制定者和其他人都质疑美国在全球竞争的能力。该项目与转型的数学专上教育（TPSE Math）小组的领导团队将召集数学部门主席会议和学术领导者会议，并从全国各地的大专院校的多样化学院召集。该会议将在数学，降低障碍，提高完成率和重新调整较低的途径以及（2）在数学和其他领域之间进行数学，降低障碍，提高完成率和重新调整的改革，从而创造了更高的上层途径，从而更好地满足了学生和雇主的职业需求，并重塑了数学在社会和工作场所中的作用。 TPSE数学的主要前提是，以性别，种族和社会经济地位为标志的社会的代表性不足，必须成为这一努力的正式伙伴，以增强国家的知识能力和经济领导。
