Underinvestment in Mathematical Capacity

The United States is not prioritizing mathematical capacity as a strategic asset, which is essential for verifying, interpreting, and challenging mathematical reasoning. This underinvestment could hinder the country's ability to advance in various fields. Mathematical capacity is not a byproduct of theorem production but a form of infrastructure built over generations. There is a need to double down on funding for math to address this issue.
