How can we solve the national debt crisis? 

Should you or your child take on a student loan? 

Is it safe to talk on a cell phone while driving? 

Are there viable energy alternatives to fossil fuels? 

What could you do with a billion dollars? 

Could simple policy changes reduce political polarization? 

These questions may all seem very different, but they share two things in common. 

First, they are all questions with important implications for either personal success or our success as a nation. Second, they all concern topics that we can fully understand only with the aid of clear quantitative or mathematical thinking. In other words, they are topics for which we need math for life.
