Okay, what are those changes in pedagogy? Be specific.
Dover prints classic mathematical texts which are wonderful. There is nothing wrong with them. I've learned so much from them.
But, you know, I could be wrong (I'm serious, not trolling). I'm white, was lower middle class but had a great set of schools/teachers, and maybe the books are terrible for ESL students (for example), and I just haven't run into the problem because of my background.
With that said, I don't think the linked book is an example of new pedagogy. I'm eager to stand corrected.
- smeyer 12y agoI hope I didn't misstate myself, but I was not claiming that the linked book was an example of new pedagogy. I was just pointing out that it's not sufficient to consider whether the principles of the subject have changed but that one must also consider the pedagogy. It doesn't excuse all price gouging nor necessarily this particular book (I haven't read the book, so I wouldn't know), but it was an aspect of the discussion missing from the rant.
