Why you hate math: Laura Overdeck

When dining out, how often do you slide your check across the table and wait for someone else to figure out the tip? Laura Overdeck explores the ways a cultural aversion to math is costing Americans — especially young girls — and what we can do to take the anxiety out of mathematics. (Filmed at TEDxWestVillageWomen)

Each week, we choose four of our favorite talks, highlighting just a few of the enlightening speakers from the TEDx community, and its diverse constellation of ideas worth spreading. Browse all TEDxTalks here »
