MATH COUNTS!

Excerpt from the book Mathematics: Is God Silent? by James Nickel:
Preface to the First Edition

Skeptic: “You say Christian education is different How?”
Christian: “Everything is taught from a biblical worldview.”
Skeptic: “Is that so? What about mathematics?”
Christian: (Dead silence)

How often do people engage in this type of conversation? How many Christian parents, students, and educators are there that can articulate a biblical approach to mathematics, or even affirm that there is such a view? As a Christian educator, and more specifically – a mathematics teacher, the author has been confronted with such questions time and time again. As the result of almost a decade of research and teaching, the author has come to the conviction that there is a distinctive, biblical approach to mathematics; an approach that will not only convert any skeptic, but also provide a potent motivation to anyone involved in Christian education. The dumbfounded response of dead silence can be turned into a dynamic declaration: the voice of God is not silent in mathematics.

God is not silent about mathematics, and God is included in the SMCA Mathematics education program!
