Morris Kline's Why The Professor Can't Teach mentions many problems in current mathematical education in university. The author said the Doctor of Arts (D.A.) in Mathematics was created to solve these problems. But I noticed that there are only three universities that have this degree in the U.S. (even in the world). They are
- Carnegie Mellon University,
- University of Illinois at Chicago and
- Idaho State University.
I even heard an associate professor in CMU said they want to halt this degree. So my question is, has the D.A. degree in math been taken seriously?
