Math Semantics Making Numbers Talk Sense Edward MacNeal 1st Ed PB 1994 Symbols

Description: Math Semantics Making Numbers Talk Sense Edward MacNeal 1st Ed PB 1994 Symbols Very good vintage condition. Light shelf wear on cover and edges. Inside pages are clean, crisp and unmarked. Tight spine. Please review photos. From smoke free home. An entertaining, anecdotal elucidation of math shows readers how numbers have inherent semantic content and attempts to cure readers of math blocks acquired in school. What is the sum of two apples and three oranges? (Answer: five fruit). Round off .098 to the nearest whole number. (Answer: zero). These math problems, and the inability of many people to solve them, reflect semantic presumptions embedded in our language, according to MacNeal, a business consultant to the airline industry. In this anecdotal, sporadically illuminating book, he deflates dubious statistics, exposes pitfalls in surveys, punches holes in accountants' reports and offers advice to math teachers. MacNeal pinpoints mathematical or logical errors commonly made by travelers, market analysts, students and others--errors that he believes may be due to the adult's retention of the child's tendency to confuse words with the things that words represent. Appendices include problems as well as recruitment quizzes for secretaries, clerical workers and lawyers.
