Such students must embrace wide ranging strategies with which to confront problems unforeseen by their parents. They must demand for their generation the use of appropriate technology to assist in mathematical investigation and relegate to quieter corners those methods made less timely by that technology. They must reject past partitions and come to see the connections that mathematics offers to its neighboring worlds. They must view mathematics as a process that is learned through exploring, conjecturing, and reasoning.
Most of all, students must gain an irrepressible self-confidence that mathematics can serve them and that they, in turn, can employ mathematics to serve their world.
