To fight heart disease, you have to get to the "heart of the problem" by diagnosing it more accurately.

I used to work in a graduate program in a department of mathematics.
Every August, we would get a few calls from panicked school districts
looking for warm bodies to teach math. These school districts
wanted to pay about $25,000 salary.
