" I kept track of errors, unreferenced claims, and misleading arguments as I read The Math Myth,
and I found so many that I’m halfway tempted to publish an annotated
edition of the book. (I’m not the only one frustrated by Hacker’s many
specious arguments. Mathematician Keith Devlin and math and statistics teacher Amy Hogan, among others, have written posts pointing out other flaws in his arguments and conclusions."
It Doesn’t Add Up
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
