POLITICAL MATHEMATICS

MATHEMATICS AND POLITICS In mathematics, constants and variables have value in the outcome; so too do the greatest and the least, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division; rational and irrational numbers; square roots and exponents; fractions and whole numbers. Why do mathematics' variability, diversity, multitudes, magnitudes, symmetry and asymmetry, lack political cogency? Why do blunt instruments and epithets like majority rule suffice?
