Ratiocination

Dr. Eric Gaze, Bowdoin College

A column devoted to ratios in all their guises: indices, coefficients, percentages, rates, scales, conversions, etc. Ratios are comparisons between the relative size of two quantities, a simple idea which – surprisingly – underlies much of the way we use numbers to communicate.
