The Math Myth: And Other STEM Delusions is a 2016 nonfiction book by Queens College political scientist Andrew Hacker analyzing and critiquing the United States educational system's teaching of mathematics as a linear progression towards more advanced fields. Based on a 2012 New York Times op-ed by Hacker titled "Is Algebra Necessary", Hacker argues that the teaching of advanced algebra, trigonometry, and calculus is not useful to the majority of students. He further claims that the requirement of advanced mathematics courses in secondary education contributes to dropout rates and impedes socioeconomically disadvantaged students from pursuing further education. Hacker critiques the Common Core system and American focus on STEM education in lieu of social sciences, arguing that the educational system should prioritize "numeracy" over pure mathematics education.
The Math Myth received broadly critical coverage from critics and mathematicians, some citing Hacker's arguments as "disingenuous" and contributing to an elitist attitude towards mathematics, with many citing a lack of exploration on mathematics in early childhood and primary education. Others praised Hacker's work, describing the book as offering a convincing critique of STEM education in the United States and empowering to students struggling in mathematics.
