This brief essay introduces readers to Shifting Contexts, Stable Core: Advancing Quantitative Literacy in Higher Education, a new edited volume published by the Mathematical Association of America. We begin by describing the story behind the volume, and then outline its four major parts: "A Bird’s Eye View," "Curriculum for Quantitative Literacy," "Quantitative Literacy in an Institutional Context," and "Perspectives from the Quantitative Literacy Community." We end with an excerpt from the volume's first chapter, "What Do We Mean by Quantitative Literacy?" by Forest Fisher.https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/numeracy/vol12/iss2/art13Mathematical Association of Americaquantitative literacynumeracyquantitative reasoninghigher education |
