The culture in the U.S. might not be the most intellectual one in the world, but it is at least relatively supportive of activities which lead to individual “success”, especially financial success. There seems to be a general (albeit vague) public awareness here that mathematics is somehow “useful” for various industries and careers (e.g. IT, finance, engineering, etc.), and so people here do seem to agree that maths is important, even if they mostly don’t want to touch the stuff themselves. It’s not ideal, but it’s significantly better than apathy or outright anti-intellectualism.

For instance, while teaching undergraduate linear algebra here in the U.S., I’ve found that students respond well to the story of how two Stanford graduate students in mathematics and computer science managed to exploit the theory of singular values of large sparse matrices to create a rather well-known multi-billion dollar web search company
Это надо понимать он про Брина, а второй кто? Я думал там только теорема перрона-фробениуса задействована в гугле, а тут целая теория of singular values of large sparse matrices. Надо взять на вооружение, буду линейную алгебру учить тоже стравлю детям историю после определения матрицы.
