From the Mathematician’s Lament by Paul Lockhart (p.6-7)

SIMPLICIO: Are you really trying to claim that mathematics offers no useful or practical
applications to society?

SALVIATI: Of course not. I’m merely suggesting that just because something happens to
have practical consequences, doesn’t mean that’s what it is about. Music can lead armies into
battle, but that’s not why people write symphonies. Michelangelo decorated a ceiling, but I’m
sure he had loftier things on his mind.

SIMPLICIO: But don’t we need people to learn those useful consequences of math? Don’t
we need accountants and carpenters and such?

SALVIATI: How many people use any of this “practical math” they supposedly learn in
school? Do you think carpenters are out there using trigonometry? How many adults
remember how to divide fractions, or solve a quadratic equation? Obviously, the current
practical training program isn’t working, and for good reason: it is excruciatingly boring, and
nobody ever uses it anyway. So why do people think it’s so important? I don’t see how it’s
doing society any good to have its members walking around with vague memories of
algebraic formulas and geometric diagrams, and clear memories of hating them. It might do
some good, though, to show them something beautiful and give them an opportunity to enjoy
being creative, flexible, open-minded thinkers— the kind of thing a real mathematical
education might provide.

SIMPLICIO: But people need to be able to balance their checkbooks, don’t they?
GENERAL EDUCATION

SALVIATI: I’m sure most people use a calculator for everyday arithmetic. And why not? It’s
certainly easier and more reliable. But my point is not just that the current system is so
terribly bad, it’s that what it’s missing is so wonderfully good! Mathematics should be taught
as art for art’s sake. These mundane “useful” aspects would follow naturally as a trivial by-
product. Beethoven could easily write an advertising jingle, but his motivation for learning
music was to create something beautiful.
