While we can’t fix everything, there’s a fundamental truth that most large problems begin as small problems that, left unattended, grow or propagate. There are always plenty of problems to be solved.

Mathematicians excel at handling complexity and uncertainty. Mathematical reasoning strategies aren't just useful for dilemmas involving numbers. We can apply math mindsets to improve our approach to ...
