The Geography of Math

When the mathematical proficiency or quantitative literacy of a country is linked to the location where its math curriculum was formulated—for example, both developed and developing countries that have adopted the Singapore math curriculum, or adapted part of it, have generally performed better than those that are reluctant to take the risks.
Just as the color of the cat doesn’t matter as long as it catches the mouse, so the geography of math shouldn’t be a big concern for parents and politicians if the local or foreign math curriculum could produce a quantitatively literate or numerate citizentry.

Geographically Convenient

Wanting to do/go something/somewhere based on how close it is it to.

This can apply to things from getting food from upstairs to being friend depending on your location.
'I dont really like Bob, but because he lives next door and is geographically convient, i go to his house a lot when i'm bored.'

'yesterday i went to Kmart instead of whole foods because its only 2 blocks away and i dont have to drive. its pretty geographically convenient'
