Periodically on GoobNet, we placed people or things into the GoobNet Focal Plane. This instalment examined the human brain and its ability to perform mathematics. We met a mathematical motivational speaker who wanted people to stop using calculators, and a psychology professor who wanted people to start using calculators. Which one of them was right? Are we any closer to knowing the answer now than we were when this piece was published?
