Abstract

This paper "examines college readiness, one of America's fundamental
educational challenges. College readiness involves multiple factors that contribute to the intellectual, emotional, informational, and financial wherewithal required to attend and succeed in higher education. For the purposes of this paper, our focus will be on one piece of this complex subject: math.
