Economists have shown that cognitive skills — especially math and science — are robust predictors of individual income, of a country’s economic growth, and of the distribution of income within a country (e.g. Hanushek & Kimko, 2000; Hanushek & Woessmann, 2008).

This is great for students who don't think algebra is necessary. This is a different way math can be taught. It would be the teaching of quantitative skills rather than a bunch of abstract formulas.

Looking to the Future of A New Kind of Science XconomyNKS will also no doubt be important in figuring out how to set up synthetic biological organisms. What would be the most spectacular success for NKS models? Perhaps models that lead to an understanding of aging, or cancer. Perhaps more accurate models for social or economic processes. Or perhaps a final fundamental theory of physics.

I was especially curious about this remark "NKS will also no doubt be important in figuring out how to set up synthetic biological organisms."

There isn’t that great of a value-add to quantification as such, but with a mathematical understanding of a topic one can engage in an algebra of mental manipulations so as to construct models with which one can project other facts.
