Of course, as a pedantic mathematician, we have to specify that we’re writing in base 10. And, if you don’t see why that’s funny, click here.

Thanks Marty (and other commenters) for the ever thought-provoking, highly entertaining and brilliantly researched material.
I just wish others in government, education departments and examination bodies would read, think and act on what is discussed here…
Every base is base 10 except… base 1…. right?
Yep, you’re spot on, Craig. Which means that base 10 is meaningless.
Marti,
I find the ‘direct’ style of your blog refreshingly different . Akin to Rob S’s character in Utopia
Based on the entries to date you appear to have a passion for mathematics ,teaching /tutoring of mathematics as well human rights ,equality ,environmental issues etc
I anticipate by the 1000th baseless entry the planet may have stopped heating up?

Thanks, Steve. I guess by any standards I’m pretty “direct”. But it’s not like there’s much competition in writing on education. As for my interests, pretty much my only outside-family interest is the decline of civilisation. It just happens that a large part of that is the destruction of education and, rightly or wrongly, I feel competent to comment on the destruction of mathematics education.
