Summary of Innumeracy by John Allen Paulos

Notice: This is a Summary & Analysis of {TITLE}. THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL BOOK. Learn about the mathematical equivalent of illiteracy. Would you consider yourself to be “afraid” of math? Did you spend most of your time in school wondering when you would ever “need” algebra? Do you prefer to let a calculator do most of the work for you? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, you’re not alone! Many people have an aversion to math and this intentional escape from mathematics is called “innumeracy.” Just as illiteracy is the inability to read, a lack of proficiency with mathematics is called innumeracy. Innumeracy (1988) explores this phenomenon and its impact on humanity. DISCLAIMER: This book summary is meant as a summary and an analysis and not a replacement for the original work.
