看到下面的一些評論，很感動：

• You know, in CHina,most of people know how to learn mathmatics. But few of them know how to use them, beacause in their’s eyes, math is only a piece of examination paper,which is still important
• But in China. too many people who don’t know the mathmatics are living better than who know a little of the mathmatics.The goverment should be responseble of change the satuation, if they want to make our country to be strong
• Certainly, math is a wonderful tool for all of us.
