Mathematics as a Means to Culture and Discipline
Perhaps the strongest obstacle to the determination of the disciplinary value of mathematics has been the common assumption that its disciplinary value is not open to question. While the new psychology long since shattered the theory of formal discipline in the sense of the training of generally useful mental faculties, the mass of thinkers still look upon mathematics and the languages as formal disciplines,—as pre-eminently adapted to a mental training that results as a matter of course and is carried over without specific instruction into every field of experience.
