Letter To The Editor

I note with interest the letter to the editor written by Duane Forsyth in the October 1967 issue of THE MATHEMATICS TEACHER, page 640, concerning a symbol for the inverse of a number.

Letter To The Editor

Dr. Robbins' comments in his letter to the editor offer certainly an attractive explanation for the phenomena observed in bronchiolitis, although Engel's opinion concerning the functional significance of the bronchiolar muscles is not shared by all investigators. The fact that bronchiolitis occurs in this form, severity and rapidity only in infants may not be fully explained by the smaller size of the bronchioles in infancy, since they are in terms of ultimate size relatively large.

Poisoning Prevention

Drs Gellert and Wagner have made some excellent points regarding the need to devise specific, local, lead poisoning prevention programs. Although the Letters to the Editor sections of journals are not the proper forum in which to devise such programs, several general comments should be made. The Committee on Environmental Health carefully drafted its statement on childhood lead poisoning prevention to allow and encourage reasoned and reasonable discussion of screening strategies. The term "universal screening" is intentionally not used in the statement.

Quadratic Equations

I'm sure by now someone has pointed out to Mr. J. J. Buc of Blue Island, Illinois, that his exposition “Fallacy in Solving Quadratic Equations” (THE MATHEMATICS TEACHER, December 1967, pp. 884 and 897) is itself fallacious. Ah, the beauty of mathematics—what structure, what strength! Should it fall through so simple an argument as Mr. Buc presents, we would indeed be in trouble.

Juvenile Nephronophthisis

In regard to the "Letter to the Editor" by Dr. George Cassady, we feel that he has misinterpreted the opening paragraph of our article "Familial Juvenile Nephronophthisis" (Pediatrics, 34:337, 1964). We did not suggest that the excellent work of Shafer, Scriver, and Efron supported a cause and effect relationship between the described biochemical defect and the syndrome of hereditary nephritis and deafness. Our statement "recognition and study of this disease has led to the demonstration of a biochemical defect" simply intends to emphasize the importance of recognition of specific clinical syndromes which lead to the study of more cases and frequently to the discovery of important biochemical or other abnormalities in affected individuals.

The Relationship

In their letter to the editor Talbot and Richie are attempting to demonstrate two independent equations. The first concerns the relationship between fluid requirements and the two-thirds power of weight. The second concerns the relationship between surface area and the two-thirds power of weight. Whereas, according to their Figure 1, there can be no controversy over the first relationship, controversy over the second relationship continues and is not clarified by the authors. Since their aim to calculate fluid requirements for all ages in a uniform manner is accomplished by expressing it as a function of the two-thirds power of weight, the additional concept of surface area is unnecessary and confusing.

This discussion is occasioned by two notes in the October 1969 issue of the Mathematics Teacher, one a letter to the editor from Barbara Almli on page 446, and the other Philip Peak's review on page 477 in his “Have You Read …?” section of T. A. Brown's “A Note on ‘Instant Insanity’” (Mathematics Magazine, September 1968, pp. 167-69). Each of these items describes the puzzling challenge known as “Instant Insanity.”

In his interesting article in The Mathematics Teacher in the April 1968 issue, pages 304-95, Earl K McGeehee, Jr., fails to mention one nomenclatural point of considerable importance: A Hausdorff space that is also a door space is a house door space.

Letter To The Editor

Concerning the illustration of the commutative and the associative properties described by James Bilderback in his letter in The Mathematics Teacher, LXI (February, 1968), 122-35—“holding hands” is not a binary operation in the algebraic sense, since it does not associate a unique third student with each ordered pair of students. It appears to me that Mr. Bilderback's method will not only fail to achieve the desired result but it may tend to reinforce the misconception of an algebraic operation as a configuration of marks on the paper rather than as a mapping from S × S V S where S is the set of elements under consideration.
