| Feb 1, 2011 at 4:53 | comment | added | Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine | @Michael: true, most students aren’t seeking banking jobs, but nevertheless this book contains many problems along the lines of what you asked for; plus the fact that these skills by at least some non-academics may be a helpful motivator for some students. (Even if they don’t feel “This will help me, personally, get a job”, it can at least help them stop feeling “Ugh, after college no-one even cares whether you can do math; it’s so pointless!”) | |
