Portraying mathematicians as geeks and freaks does a disservice to those who hear music in math and find beauty in the intricacies of statistical permutations. Can you tell I was once THIS close to becoming a math geek? In "NUMB3RS", as soon as either of the math guys start talking, their monologues push my slumber button -- and I love math!<BR/><BR/>I wonder if luring unsuspecting students into science is a better ploy, because the math sneaks up on them through that venue. Once committed to science, they are obligated to learn the math. Some will catch fire from their exposure to the "hot" math and move in that direction, let's hope.Georganna Hancock M.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13989653997711727130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17445520.post-1140573768399974182006-02-21T20:02:00.000-06:002006-02-21T20:02:00.000-06:00Letter Shredder: Interesting!
