“As the dean of a faculty at the University of Waterloo with Canada’s largest concentration of mathematical and computer science talent, I have seen first-hand the positive employment outcomes that await well-rounded students with good math and computing skills. Math and computing is used in everything from optimizing airline routes to planning surgeries, developing new drugs and wave-modelling to save shorelines from erosion.
