Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

REFERENCES A report of this nature touches on issues related to a very broad literature, from demographic analyses to mathemati- cal research, from educational policy to pedagogical theories. Because of heightened interest in educational reform and rapid changes in the mathematical sciences, this literature has expanded greatly in recent years. While many of the is- sues addressed in the report have been studied and thought about for a very long time, some of the most urgent mat- ters (for example, changing demographics and the impact of computing) have emerged only in recent years. Virtually every issue treated in Everybody Counts has roots in studies or reports of the past ten years. Some matters come directly from this literature; many other statements, however, are more the product of expert consensus than of documentable research. As a result, the references to this report provide not so much a record of evidence as a resource for action. To guide readers to the most current sources, the bibliog- raphy stresses works published in the 1980's. The absence of much of the older literature is a result of this choice, not a judgment about relative merits of classics in the field. Point- ers to important earlier analyses can readily be found among the books and papers in the bibliography. Notes The following notes suggest references that relate to particular sections. Because of the complex interactions among sections of this report interactions which are reflected also in many of the references the linkage of references to report sections is at most a very rough guide.

Mathematics is the key to opportunity. No longer only the language of science, mathematics is now essential to business, finance, health, and defense. Yet because of the lack of mathematical literacy, many students are not prepared for tomorrow's jobs. Everybody Counts suggests solutions. Written for everyone concerned about our children's education, this book discusses why students in this country do not perform well in mathematics and outlines a comprehensive plan for revitalizing mathematics education in America, from kindergarten through college.
