wasting bandwidth since 1999
Last summer, as the midterm election campaigns were just cranking up to 11, John Allen Paulos, a mathematics professor at Temple University and author of the classic popular math book “Innumeracy”,1 proposed a “biennial Who Wants to Be a Scientifically Literate Candidate test”.
Speaking of writing, as in the previous post, I came to this activity late in life.
Although most of my teaching career involved helping students understand the concepts of mathematics (which usually doesn’t include much traditional writing),1 I started in college as a history major. As a result I learned to craft an effective bluebook exam essay and build major research papers.
