We keep seeing the need to translate problems into mathematical terms, or into the language of mathematics, in order to solve those problems.

 

      Libraries and librarians can help us translate mathematical, scientific, and social problems into terms that can facilitate problem-solving, if we fund our libraries properly.  How would you solve part of the problem of public library funding?

Today’s reading relates to figuring out for yourself what are useful online materials to help you learn mathematics on your own:
