All the Math Methods I Learned in My University Math Degree Are Now Obsolete

> what is required today is a sufficiently deep understanding of all those procedures, and the underlying concepts they are built on

This has always been the case for mathematicians. People that just learn how to do computations are called engineers.

I find it difficult to imagine that this was written by a professor of mathematics. In order to suggest this viewpoint, you must have no idea of what software can and cannot automate in mathematical reasoning, not actually have developed mathematical reasoning and have relied on memorization of formulas so far, or be pushing an agenda.

I know the author, and he is a "real mathematician". I'm not quite sure what you are suggestion, or how many research pure mathematicians you know, but as a PhD in pure math myself I'm struggling to understand exactly the points you are making, and what you would suggest they are missing.

Could you point us at some articles to explain your points?

Thanks.

One has to just inspect this title to see no real mathie wrote this. Proof is left as an exercise to the reader. ;>

Hmm I don't think we can classify Keith Devlin as no real mathie.
