Student learning in mathematical and quantitative reasoning is among the most daunting challenges many universities face, especially for students with weak mathematical backgrounds. According to ACT, only twenty-four percent of ACT-tested 2010 high school students met or exceeded college readiness benchmarks in all four areas; the percentage of high school graduates poised to succeed in mathematics and science is the lowest with only forty-three and twenty-nine percent respectively.
