Mathematics is Latin to many.Americans are no exception to it.Tell Maths to any of the school students over there and you would see people laughing at you.Many people are not very good at Maths attributed to some of the complex equations and formulas to remember.No one really gets that patience to apply a idea from nowhere to derive a theorem.This is why it ‘sucks’ to many Americans.
Now there could have been another reason why they are not doing good at Maths.It’s because they learn errors!!.
Yes.Reviewers of the text books to go out in the next academic year have found about 164 faulty books with errors sky rocketing to an incredible 109263!.This error count includes the number of wrong answers to the questions at the end of the chapter.
One error included 10 being interpreted as the sum of 2 and 7!!!.
Many of the errors were blamed upon the faulty translation from English to Spanish.
These errors are expected to be corrected by their release to the students and teachers.
So editors and text book publishers beware !.You will be fined a $1000 for evry error by the Texas state board of Education!.
