Wardrop, Mary R.; Wardrop, Robert F., Eds. – American Mathematical Monthly, 1984
Properties of the arithmetic mean and the geometric mean are discussed, with an analogy between additive multiplicative averages. Drawing analogies between symbols and relations is proposed as a way of strengthening students' understanding and enriching the study of elementary statistics. (MNS)
