Abstract | In today's digital society, people encounter a lot of information on a daily basis. This information should be understood by citizens in order for them to be able to properly engage in political issues, something the population of a healthy democracy does. Much of such information involves mathematics and fully comprehending it requires so-called quantitative literacy. All students should learn this as well as critical thinking at school. The article also discusses how abstract mathematics can indirectly be beneficial for democracy. (As Provided). |
